could you please explain what is the next generation? And why do you think that only younger people will bring 'fresh air and perception' into the project? I don't see such connection to the age of one. > > Being myself from the youngest in the community, I have plenty of ideas > to fix this challenge and drive the attention of younger developers. :) If I interpret the purpose of the Redmine ticket correctly it is not targeted to developers.

Thanks for the initiative. Developers are only one part of the project but their work wouldn't be successful without e.g. documentation, user support etc. LibreOffice is not something like a software running on servers (not visible and used by end users) but an office software targeted to end user (with a different set of skills) (I know some of them e.g. from my daily paid work).
