Sure, but they have been one of our declared supporters from the outset of the project, yet I'm not aware of anything that Google and TDF have worked on together. I think it's a pity. While it's true that Google Docs is proprietary, they are pretty supportive of OS projects. And, pragmatically, they provide a free, cloud-based service that supports ODF formats. With a very big user base. I imagine that a lot of interest would be generated by LibreOffice/Google Docs integration, which could certainly have positive spin-offs for our project. I have a feeling that Google would probably react helpfully if we started the ball rolling, especially if the SC showed a positive attitude to the idea... If TDF was interested, I have a relevant contact I could approach about it... It would be interesting to see what might come of it... What do you think about that? In any case, the proposed survey is one really good way forward already. Once again, just my 2 cents... ;-) -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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
