I am not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but activity on Discuss @
OpenOffice.org seems to have peaked somewhere between 4 and 7 years
ago. Long before the buyout of Sun by Oracle I noticed a marked decline
in emails sent to OOo discuss. I am still subscribed to OOo discuss,
actually there is little reason to unsubscribe, I don't think that I see
an average of more than 2 emails a day coming into that mail list anymore.
On the other hand, the Discuss list at The Document Foundation is
extremely busy, I haven't counted, but it seems to be 30 to 60 emails a
day. It looks to me like OOo will soon become just OO for Oracle
Office. If things continue there the way that they have been going
their version of the program will soon be strictly proprietary with no
pretense that it has anything to do with Open Source.
About all I can say about the Fork of OOo is that it is too bad that it
didn't happen at least 4 years ago when interest and enthusiasm for OOo
started to noticeably wane on the part of Open Source fans.
