The Community Manager.


I'm not sure you are aware : OpenOffice.org project is managed by a Community Council.

What means "Community Manager" ?


Again, this site is not official,  is not an OpenOffice.org project
neither and I don't understand why you have right to use Official
logo for your own site.


Becuase I'm promoting the project.

You are not promoting the project correctly, and to promote a project like OpenOffice.org, you have to respect rules.

Everyone must respect rules to make things work. Obviously you not, and I disagree.


This is not enough : users are obviously confused with the look and
the logo, and whorse, you are doing propaganda for forks.

It is enough. As I said, I have permission to put up the site the way it
is, including the disclaimer.

Where is it written ?  Could you give me the archives you mean ?


As it is my site, I am free to promote whatever project or projects that I
wish.

Change the appearance, and remove the logo first.

After, No problem to believe you.


Means what you wrote about X11 port does not respect our work.

So? It is my opinion. I do not like the X11 port, nor do I agree that it
is the way to port OpenOffice.org to Mac.


The problem : you are completely wrong because *we* (Mac port of OpenOffice.org project) *are* working for a native port, means : providing a Mac application not using X11.

And the only correct way to port OpenOffice.org to the Mac *IS* contribute for OpenOffice.org project. Here, it exactly means: help the Mac port project, not a fork.


Don't forget the X11 port is what we found when we started to contribute. Because of bad choices from some Sun people, only because of that.

But we are working hard to make a true Mac application, and you have not the right to write what you wrote about our work : you don't respect us.



  It is not a Mac program.  It's an
X11 program.

We are working on it.

  On the other hand, NeoOffice is a Mac native program.

No. this is wrong : Java is a short term workaround to make consumers believe it is, but it is not. And the way is long to replace Java.


  It's
much easier to install, doesn't need you to dig out your Install disc, and,
as Mac users are accostumed, "It just works".


This is not OpenOffice.org project. Here, we have to defend OpenOffice.org project. Do you understand ?


And Mac port of OpenOffice.org project is working on native port.

We just inherit of years without any work in that direction, but we progress


This is not acceptable, that's all.


Sorry you feel that way.  I am promoting OpenOffice.org.

No. Just some lines above, you exactly wrote the opposite.


  I took it upon
myself to build the site, buy the domain name, and write the copy. If you don't like the way I am promoting "your work" (which, I thought was "our


This is not question of *my* work. I am not important : the project is the most important. for the future, for social reasons too.

This is question of respect OpenOffice.org project. Not sure you understand...


work" but, maybe I was wrong) then don't visit or promote my site.

You know the solution :

- change the look
- remove the logo
