There's an app for Apple devices called Quick Office Pro. It is totally
unrelated to OpenOffice project and code. A link to it is
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/quickoffice-pro/id889011512?mt=8
They link to http://openoffice.org for user support. This results in
many off-topic requests to the users list and in damage for the
OpenOffice reputation; also, the app is not free, so they ask for refund
and confuse our users. (We are trying, by the way, to get that app
removed from the store, but it's a parallel course of action).
Moderators on the users list have been considering to reject messages
related to "Quick Office Pro" and to accompany rejection with a message
explaining that OpenOffice has nothing (at a project level or code
level) to do with Quick Office Pro, that the Quick Office Pro developers
are abusing our support channels and that users should report the app to
the Store where they bought it.
Since there are concerns that the power to decide what to reject can be
too subjective, I'm asking that we (subject to lazy consensus) agree
that "Quick Office Pro" posts can be rejected with the explanation note
described above. This will get irrelevant messages out of the list and
avoid dangerous misunderstandings: I've personally replied to several
such posts and I've seen other users get confused and believe that the
reports applied to OpenOffice instead of Quick Office Pro, thus leading
to even more confusion. A well-written rejection notice can be much more
effective.
If you have very, very valid concerns against this please speak up;
otherwise I recommend that you realize that we virtually anything else
is more important than Quick Office Pro, so if you, unlike me, have a
lot of free time, you can spend it in more productive ways!
Regards,
Andrea.
