we can start promote this feature already, we can create screencasts, can blog about it, can make clear where it comes from ... If LO copy the sidebar (and I am sure they will) it's a good signal and users will learn over time where the real value comes from. We are here and open for collaboration. Let people ask why they keep this fork alive and why they don't join us. TDF can continue what they are doing today but we would work on one common code base. Everything else is wasted time and wasted resources. If you want to start to do more and better marketing for AOO please do that. At the moment is important that we focus on a good AOO 4.0, work on translation, QA and bug fixes and bring the beast out.
