Well, you cant have a cake and eat it too. Claiming "independence" on the project homepage and in the very logo that started this thread, while discussing this on a mailing list of the very organization you claim independence from is laughable. Uploading such a logo to the wiki provided by the very organization you claim to be in need of replacement is outright ridiculous. > Let me stress again: we're not going to avoid this topic, and we're > going to discuss it, publicly. No chance to cut it. Please do, but on _your_ public mailing lists or whatever infrastructure you have available. While it is IMHO perfectly appropriate and on topic to discuss technical issues of the shared/inherited codebase on openoffice.org mailing lists, it is totally offtopic to discuss the marketing for a derived and marketingwise fundamentally different product. You would likely be offended when NeoOffice, Oracle Open Office or Lotus Symphony would be promoted on TDF mailing lists -- it is offtopic there. I assume nobody had the lack of courtesy to do so. Please dont lack it here.
