If you want to play catch up forever you will end up devoting most of
your developers to be back-engineering forever. Instead we should be
innovating and creating and expanding openoffice.org to be a better
software more than a better copy.
I agree with all that. I just think that promoting OOo and promoting ODF
are interlocking but still separate propositions. *At this point*
promoting OOo on the basis of ODF is non-starter. But the more OOo is
adopted, the easier it will be to promote ODF. OOo is the "reference
application" for ODF in the same way the MSO is the reference app for
MSO file types.
And of course, the particular market segment you're targeting makes a
difference, too.
