>Hi Louis, Hi Christian, * I think your comments address the larger issue of handling RFEs generally, not the particular one of getting representative NLC leads early into discussions with Sun on the app's direction. However, the point you repeatedly made, that "Sun's decision making process is just not ready for this" is true enough. My point was rather to see whether the NLC leads/reps would be willing to engage with Sun product management early, though it is not clear what "early" means here.

This would help a lot >in preventing some of the big mistakes done with OOo 2.0 >But again: This doesn't solve the issue-problem. That's fine with me. But I do not really want a version of Q-Concept document, which was a late document that was given to the community for review, and pretty much only for review. Overall, the larger point I was trying to make was to get the interested community involved in a coherent fashion in shaping 3.0. We can have the discussion on proddev for #1, I think. best Louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
