One unwritten issue tied into the egg problem is recognition and

OOo as good as it has become. Eggs are a way of making one's mark on the

pleased with, then opposition to fixing the problem might diminish or go
away all together.
I agree with this. Developers who actually make OpenOffice.org (as opposed
to people like me who just talk about it and promote it) should have as
much, if not more say, in this than I do. They have obviously made their
choice - several times, as the issue report has been filed on numerous
occassions. There's no point to debate this further.
The only obvious problems I see are with the interactive eggs, especially
in a classroom environment where I'd call them almost showstoppers, though
the others may well be benign.
As I've pointed out in the other threads, there are innumerable other
interactive distractions on any personal computer that a student maybe
using. Some Tic Tac Toe game or Space Invaders clone (which has a feature
to prevent repeated use) is not going to add to the problem. If educators
seem to think that it is, the person marketing to them needs to be ready
with an answer for that.

Chad, You obviously have no marketing experience whatsoever. PLease stop
telling people what to do and keep this an open discussion, based on
arguments.
For now, I will no longer discuss this item since I believe it to be
part of structural, organisational problems.
