Haven't we decided to change the description for Apache OpenOffice.
I found this old description here. Where is the new one? I would fix
it in the next days.
<https://www.openoffice.org/why/index.html>
do you have a pointer where / when we have discussed this?
Sadly not really. It was years ago. Maybe it was a discussion within the
pmc and never on dev as I do now.
But maybe we can discuss again. The following statement seems a bit bold
for us.
Apache OpenOffice is the leading *open-source* *office software
suite* for *word processing*, *spreadsheets*, *presentations*, *
graphics*, *databases* and more.
Is this something we want to battle for? Or do we want to go with a
different statement, that reflects more what we are after?
Leading reflects innovation, bleeding edge. We should think then on AI
support and other technologies. A lot of people do not feel home in our
UI, because we do not follow the closed source market leader.
If you check what low code systems do at the moment in terms of
databases we are not offering a tool at this point that is at the edge
of today's representation.
I wonder if we should maybe change this to something that reflects more
what we are after. IMHO these are traits like:
- Preserving skill
- offering a free Version for the public good, with low accessability
- The ability to run on a broad support list not only market supported
machines.
Thanks
