This sounds like one possible good move for LibreOffice: Base as as a front end and PostgreSQL as the engine at the back. That way, we only have to provide a decent, reliable front end, and we have a well-supported database engine. Although I would not like to give up on the possibility of supporting other databases, too. Although if I had to make a pragmatic choice between badly-implemented complexity of support for multiple engines and well-implemented support for just one engine, I'd choose the latter. Although, like Tom, I'd love to see TDF get something moving with Google (one of our supporters, no?) and work on Google Docs integration. Charles, could we maybe get some technical opinions from Michael and Thorsten about the feasibility of the above ideas? Michael, Thorsten, could you maybe explain to us what the problems and prerequisites would be for the above? -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
