Even if it did the question then is how much more might have been achieved? Where does this "large population" come from? It seems to me that you catch more bears with honey than you do with vinegar so attracting developers to a larger cooperative ecosystem is more likely than to one that is divided and "bitchy". Getting that environment right won't happen without some dialogue that is positively motivated to do it. Ok, some might not be interested in that aspect - then just leave it to those that are rather than acting destructively. i.e. If the localization on LibO and OOo is handled by the same group of > people, then, the working together part, wouldn't be that hard to achieve. > If my aunty had balls she'd be my uncle ;-). If is the pivotal word. Why would that localisation by a single group happen spontaneously in the current climate? It might but it might not. The question is how to make it more likely that that might happen? Without some discussion about the scope for co-operation you are just leaving it to randomness and hoping. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
