Hello,

I must say that I am quite puzzled to read this. First, I would like to
ask if this project was proposed according to the appropriate way? I'm
not saying it is a bad idea, I'm just saying that it's good to follow 
the guidelines.

Second, saying that the documentation project is dead is quite
surprizing: the documentation project hosts the Templates contest. Kami,
where did you have this information according to what the documentation
project of OOo was dead? It's fairly active I believe.

Third, and much in the same line, the very least you guys can do is to
notify Roderick Singleton and Scott Carr, leads of the documentation
project, that you wish to do something with the templates and open a new
project. To me it is a clear lack of respect towards the community. I do
expect apologies from you to Gerry and Scott.

Fourth, I can't help but notice that this has been done totally behind
the back of everybody, except Novell, Sun, and Kami.  Sorry to be the
bad-mooded guy here, but I think that we had our share of instant
surprizes with Novell these days. A low profile would be expected. I do
simply not understand why Sun engineers all of a sudden decided to take
the OOo templates elsewhere without notifying anyone. If you want to
change the specs on the UI in order to make a better use of the
templates, I'm fine with it, but please do not enter that new Templates
project thing which is as it seems quite cheesy for the moment.
Communication, folks. Communication.

Last but not least: Kami, I am very disappointed by your attitude. You
do not communicate on this project, but you never hesitate to spam the
discuss lists and the hungarian lists with your Oxygen office. If you
want to make your little private fork I'm fine with it, you are free to
do so: yet I'am tired of individuals of your kind who take much from our
project but don't give back. Did you never wonder how arrogant this new
templates project was? Did you even consider useful to notify the people
outside Novell and Sun? What is wrong with you exactly?

Charles-H.Schulz.
