All these contributions are hypothetical ... at least until we have a repository of our own. And then, even after having our SVN repository working we have other priorities like IP cleanup. Even if the enhancements have been tested in LO, the code has to be reviewed, and committers are expected to have good judgement of the issues. One of the things LibreOffice pretends to do, for example, is to remove Java as a dependency, a move that is not very attractive to Apache developers, I think. I appreciate the thoughts and general objective of collaboration but I think most of it will end up being orthogonal to what we have to do first: set a new development focus. To be successful, Apache OO cannot depend on LibreOffice. I am not saying any of this thinking is bad at all or that you should stop trying to build bridges, but we still have to do a lot of stuff to do *here* before getting to that. Pedro.
