Hi, all, It was 4 weeks since Rob raised the topic, and there were a lot of discussions.
I'm so glad to see that people got more familiar with the values in the code contributed from Symphony, tried it out, and liked to see those values to be integrated into AOO future releases. I treat it as a big recognition to Symphony team. While per my reading from the discussion, we generally agreed that the favorite way of integrating the values is to continuously merging Symphony into AOO, feature by feature. This way is good for community's growth and emotion, keeping strong support to the large OpenOffice users base as well as many BPs, and avoiding the technical uncertainty of the code base switch. I also noticed that this thread is no longer as active as 2 weeks before. So I suggest we close this topic, and move on following the current direction we agreed. We already have a successfully 3.4, and 3.4.1 is coming soon. And we can notice that many people are actively working on the trunk for the next release. I think it is time for us to discuss the target and plan for the next release now. It is long way to go, but as RGB ES quoted, "walking slow you'll arrive far". With more contributors, we will have bigger steps to bring Symphony value in and develop new features. Overall, my suggestion is: close this discussion thread, and kick off a new topic for the discussion of our next release.
