> Imho looking for Companies & Investors is the route Libre is moving. One word: The TDF is not the kind of foundation that the OOo community once wanted. The TDF is a money and PR machine for companies and LO is as dependent on these companies as once OOo of Oracle or Sun. I see people in the LO-community who work a lot but have little to say. Well-known people, who once advanced OpenOffice.org and enjoyed respect there. > I don't think doing the same is smart. > I would rather prefer the opposite direction and focus on > community building. > And that is something we can do without any programmer skills. > We can claim that we are not bound today to anyone.

This would not be my way, but if developers want to follow this path, and a good software is generated, then this good software (relatively) automatically gets market meaning. Therefore, I will _not_ contradict this way, when it is the way which the developers want.
