For the past few weeks there has been a very big discussion about
reasons and what and why not does OOo doesn't come with a PIM. The
issue has extended a bit too much and I realize this is really puting
a lot of pressure on prooject such as the marketing list to come
forward with documentation on why OOo doesn't have nor plan to
develop a PIM program for the near feature. Also detail more what
are the alternatives on a far more indepth reasoning for using
alternatives and even go as far as conecting this users to the
developers of the alternative projects.
Outlook is part of MS Office, and people who are used to Microsoft
products but novices in the open world often ask why OOo doesn't have
an Outlook alternative. Technically, the reason is, i suppose, that
there are lots of Outlook-alternatives in the open world, and OOo
doesn't want to spend resources on inventing the wheel. But many
people don't know the open Outook-alternatives, and Microsoft is
using this in their FUD against us. I remember Ballmer once said that
OOo "didn't even have a mail client".
I think the OOo Marketing project truely has a challenge in
communicating this issue and pointing end users to good alternatives
to Outlook.

Ok so the next step is how do we comunicate. I think puting an open
letter explaining the reason why we don't have these might at least
prove a stance on the issue. Not doing it will just be failing to
communicate. I think the best option is to start working on mockups on
how this open letter should be assemble and use the wiki to work on the
draft.
are you realy sure this is all true??
