Thanks, being open has it´s drawbacks. The whole community participated in making the report, something I strongly prefer, and he used (against advice) not the final version, which is significantly different, but the version that fitted his message best. I do not believe being secret about our challenges is the right way, even though such articles are not pleasant reading. We will always have people who misuse drafts, but I am not prepared to make reports with only a little circle of people. We are an open community and I for one am proud that we dare discuss openly. The facts of the report are correct, they can be found by studying this ML. Instead of discussion how unfair life is, let us all, use this as a turning point, to get the activity levels up where they belong. I had a lot of positive input at apacheCON Austin, and it is my hope that some of it turn into realities. rgds jan I. > -- > Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
