Oh wow! 5 releases in 5 years! Nice Records!
Now see libreoffice records:-
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan
14 releases in 2016
16 releases in 2017
16 releases in 2018
15 releases in 2019
5 releases in 2020 till now
Total - 66 release since 2016.
I dont see a reason why a higher rate of releases is better than a lower
rate.
E.g. Microsoft Office has also not that many release with a single year
(when we let the little bugfixes outside of the math). So, are they
dead, too?
Or have a look at Debian Linux. They are famous for their "a release
here a there"-policy. The result is no fancy new (still buggy) stuff,
but therefore stable and reliable software.
The number of releases openoffice has done in 5 years, libreoffice has done
in 3 months (2020 records).
Doing 5 minor release in 5 years is not something which a software would be
proud of!
Great, and still a lot of bugs. So, what are these many releasee worth it?
I repeat it again:
When you don't like what you see and want to stop any participation in
the project, then that's fine. When you tell us this, then it would be
perfect.
But stop trying to convince everybody here of you opinion. It is just
yours. And you can seethat Im not alone.
Thanks

Then explain me why there hasn't been a openoffice release since 2015?
If a
software does not update it for 5 years, do not provide documentation for
its current version, the what is it called if not dead?

You are spreading fud information.
OpenOffice is not dead. Traffic on the mailing lists, changed code and
an increasing download rate shows a different side.
And the other office suite is not the successor of OpenOffice.
Regardless if they tell or write you this. Because there is no
successor. Both are existing side by side.
So, if you don't want to participate in this project, that's fine. But
stop spreading wrong information. Go elsewhere to do your advertisement.
Thanks

Welcome to OpenOffice,
We are a volunteer organization. OpenOffice is developed mainly in
the
speed we are able to contribute.
OpenOffice is all sort of complex Application. Not only in
development,
also in translation, documentation, Web content.
We could use volunteer support in the topics
# development
# user documentation
# development documentation
# testing
# web migration
# youtube user tutorials
# tutorials
#translations of the UI and Help to a language.
Which area are you interested in? Please specify I try to help you to
get started. However it is up to you how much and if there is any
contribution. We have no stable structure to help, or train.
All the Best

Hi there,
I am currently an undergraduate student, pursuing Computer Science
from
Manipal University, India.
I have been using OpenOffice for a while now, and would love to
contribute!
Its one of the best Office suit I have used for linux based OS's,
and
keep
coming back to it, post trying other suits.
Cheers to the team working on it.
