Hi, :-) <Butt-in from end user>
1) There's a great opportunity for offering premium paid support Canonical style. Me, I'm a very happy Ubuntu user because Canonical's successful commercial-plus-community-supported Linux gives me a superb free platform, with the reassurance that if I ever run into a big problem that I can't fix through googling and forum trawling then paid support will certainly give me a solution. Yet even though Canonical offers paid support, the community support is pretty good. I'd warmly encourage you to look at a similar model. 2) I watched the video, and I wonder what's the age of those comments about OOo. I work daily with clients using MS Office and have fairly few problems regarding MS/OOo file conversions. And I know things will continue to improve with time. 3) It's true that, for me, one thing lacking in LibO is the quick macro recording you can do in MS Word. And, in connection with that is the lack of ability to search/replace things like paragraph marks, tab marks and such special characters. (I'll file a feature request about this.) 4) Plus MS Office 2010 has a nice makeover in the UI. Although I'm sure that you have ideas mulling about that. I am certain that you'll be working on those things, and that upcoming versions of LibO are going to be exciting. More power and all the best to the project. :-) </Butt-in from end user> David Nelson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to [email protected] List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
