Otherwise the proposals get dismissed out of hand by opponents because they don't have consensus, as I think you have just proved. So: * I suggest we review realistically what binaries (platforms and languages) can be sustained once the project is fully operational, seeking named participants to take responsibility for each of them, and then collaborate with other projects to ensure that the user community continues to be fully served. It may be too early for this discussion. * I suggest that end-users should be supported by shared forums or a GetSatisfaction-style collaborative venue serving all OpenOffice-family projects, hosted on the OpenOffice.org domain so it's easy to find. This discussion is already in progress and my suggestion is a rough summary of possible consensus. Feel free to start new threads if you prefer :-) S.
