------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Oct 10 05:35:34 -0700 2005 ------- Antigenic: I've given up hope. I've returned to using MS Word. I'll keep an eye on Writer's progress, but unless there are major changes in direction, I doubt I'll participate any more with testing OOo. OOo Writer could so easily be every bit as good as (perhaps even better than) Word, but there just doesn't seem to be a strong enough will to achieve that. The OOo project direction is vague and apparently unfocussed. I've found it impossible to understand how priorities are set (who sets them, and how?) and the Issue List just seems to be a sort of /dev/null sink for community comments. The 2.0 release, though better in some detailed ways, simply isn't the significant leap forward claimed by the OOo propaganda. They are completely schizophrenic when it comes to MS Office: why can't implementing 'Normal View' be as important as implementing (or apeing) things like 'Styles and Formatting' or Word's Drawing toolbar (even down to its default location). Sorry for this rant. I'm sure the OOo apparatchiks will chide me for this, possibly even remove this comment, but I don't care any longer. The question is, do they really want to improve this thing? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
