Remember the users.
TDF was born to bring back the user at the center of the project. Users generate and manage documents.
Now that MS are giving away Office for free (on the web), or cheap (£40 to UK school students - free to many University students). Now that MS are buying up chunks of commonly used apps (have you seen the advertising on Facebook and how it links with Bing?). Now that MS are managing a seamless experience for users, at reasonable costs... it's time for FOSS to realise that free-to-use and free-as-in-speech are not the selling points we think they are.
Freedom as a message is both powerful and difficult to convey. Our task is to make freedom a popular concept amongst office suite users.
