Maybe you should talk to them since the whole project is just a

invest a great deal into this product.
Please stop to propagate "NeoOffice is not just a couple of guys" :
this is completely wrong.
In fact you are talking about : two people + (approximatively) 5
people doing a lot of noise ( better word is "pollution"), and are
experimented webmasters + some hypocrite (and maybe with important
roles) people helping them "unofficially" ( Neo project received
25000$ as donation last year) and providing them communication
resources ...etc.
Please, don't encourage the perfect hypocrisis existing around this
project : they are more than two, and are perfectly organized.
Return to the your two people : these one refused to work with us,
they have choosen - intentionnaly - a non compatible license , they
don't help us to fix OpenOffice.org bugs.
What do you want more ? => there is NO interest for OpenOffice.org
project to consider them
=> this is a plain derivative product. That's all.
Now, what is OUR objective ? We are OpenOffice.org project, and here
is OpenOffice.org Marketing project, originally working for
OpenOffice.org project, right ?
Remember, OpenOffice.org is a community project, with rules.
And, reading all this thread, a positive behaviour would better be
_encourage_FIRST_our_work_ , find a way to provide us some founds,
some developers ..etc ?
No ?
And, why help an external and unfriendly project ? Or, maybe
consider the begining ...Why Sun didn't help us providing resources ?
Since end 2005, I'm searching funds, hardware, developers (all are
volunteers, and receive no money).
The way is ( as I always said ) very long, but and we have some
results and I provided a roadmap.
Even Simon Phipps speak warmly about the project:
Ah yes, ... like Simon Phipps blogued for our work for the MacIntel
port (FYI, today, Mac Intel version of OpenOffice.org builds out of
the box, and is close to stable).
...the result is : now, NeoOffice make the Mac users believe they
did the work, and ask for money for MacIntel port.
While this project never :
- fixed any Intel bug (or if ever, the code is lost for
OpenOffice.org project)
- provided any help for the bridge : all serious people perfectly
know : without bridge, no port
This is one supplementary proof this is another project, and we
simply have to ignore them, excepted if they *really* want to share
something with us (not only the bandwidth ... )
Honestly, I'd be very happy to stop to fix OpenOffice.org bugs, and
only concentrate me on native port, and draw "Blue Buttons", but this
is not possible,
because without that nothing would work, and the reality is : if a
Mac OS X version does exist, this is a community work, not a two
people project.
Again : after "Get Legal'" ... "Get correct ..."
Final dot for me, I prefer return fixing bugs and write code.
Regards,
Eric Bachard
