Hello Sophie, Thank you for your email. I didn't about these problems :-( It looks like Sun doesn't understand the concept of community.

Sun's primary interest is StarOffice, not OOo, is that right? So, would it be possible for OOo-fr to use the term they prefer and let StarOffice-fr go its own way? Let's seriously look at alternatives. > The name Stylist has been changed without any communication and without > asking about any feedback. I'd still like to point out that it's not feasible to ask feedback on every UI change. That would be far too slow. > I end by asking me if that has any matter.

You have reason to be upset, the situation is very frustrating. Thank you for being candid about this.

But what is the way of communicating we have now ?

I share Sophie's sentiment. If Sun has its own bugs and issues database and it's better, what's the purpose of the one we have here? Why do we bother with IZ when Sun has its separate database anyways? This is very frustrating.
