So if we can agree that EEs are bad for marketing to schools and corporates, the question is what are the obstacles to removing them? This is where the developers will know what the implications are better than us. Technically how difficult is it to remove this code? If they say trivial, then I can't see any rational reason not to do it. If they say many man-years, we do have a problem because again its down to cost-benefit. Next step is for some contact with the developers from the Marketing Project Leadership to present a rational case based on marketing knowledge and experience. Evidence base: The Schools Lead says EEs provide no benefit and a potential marketing barrier in the schools market Volunteers with extensive experience in the corporate marketing world and in commercial software development say EEs are a significant problem when trying to get take up of OpenOffice.org in corporate environments.
