+/- 0 (non binding) I am still going back and forth, on whether or not. against: I understand very well most of the arguments from André https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/1307a4afb87824f5 Please see here http://openoffice.org/projects/de/lists/users/archive as the number of messages on the user mailing list is going down. We are today by more or less 1/10th of the emails peak, we had on the german "user"list. I assume that the user did notice the wrangling over OOo, and they were looking for alternatives. A product should be released asap, ore OOo will loose more users. I saw emails here during incubation which were not answere because IMHO the questions were distressing. I heard here some caustically notes, inappropriate to build a community. Nearly the whole and very active community in Brasil switched to LO. A lot of very brilliant and active members of the german community are working now at LO, doing a very good job. in favor: On the other side, a lot of brilliant hackers are joining the project, and I see a lot of experienced and honorable "Hamburg-people" ;-). conclusion: Are ASF people aware, that "How the ASF works" has to be rewritten? A new role has to be created? "Enduser", because not every user of OOo did what a ASF "user" has to do (i mean user in terms of contributor). IMHO, OOo and LO must find a way out of "divide et impera". I think it's not neccessary to explain who else might be interested in a riven and broken community. Doing the same things twice is not economic, it is inefficent and worse it's stupid.
