Hello,

I think that we should not be afraid of corporations paying more and
leaving the OOo contributors aside. We're not that many to be in this
case, Laurent, at least I don't see more than twenty small companies
(aside Sun, Novell and Red Hat) being regular or important contributors
to OOo. And I think Louis and Erwin and we know most of them already so
they should also have a proeminent visibility.

But once again Laurent: OOo needs money wether you want it or not....

Best,

Charles.
