I think it is less about the code itself and more about avoiding fragmentation and duplicated effort. TDF would become of the official home of OpenOffice.org. Instead, what we are looking at one group having the name and official control of the code base, and the other having the vast majority of the community, developers, and infrastructure. That will confuse people who have grown use to the OpenOffice.org name. -Todd -Todd -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
