+5 too. What about supporting more languages for extensions instead? Lua seems interesting, there are other languages that couldbe supported too.
I think LibO should be completely functional with all the features without the use of heavy dependencies like JVM. Also I think LibO should concentrate on being a lot more resource efficient without losing functionalities. This way slower machines will be able to run it like netbooks, mobile devices and specially those using ARM. Regards.
