If features prove to be more powerful than m$, at last we would be seeing a real desire for other word processors to be more than an m$-clone for those that want free software without any need to change behaviour or to donate towards _free_ development. > away.

Disruptive, innovative technology, is by definition a major threat to the status quo. Anyway, lyx/latex/subversion is a successful collaboration environment: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Collaborative_Writing_of_LaTeX_Documents -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
