nice :)

The only I'd change is the wording of the titles:

- The projects you are looking for:
+ The projects you are probably looking for:


- These are not the projects you are looking for:
+ There are also several other projects hosted here:

The latter would be a starting point. You will hardly get a article about a new
version of libmwaw or libcdr on their own. Not TDF does do any press release
about individual library releases. You see however e.g. LibreOffice, GNOME,
KDE, Java releasing stuff as a set and thus gaining enough critical mass for
some media coverage -- even for functionality that is not always directly 
related.

Anyway: As said, not a QA-topic, so not really for this list.

Best,

I disagree. The libraries are separate projects, not components of a
single project. Also, an user reporting a bug for one of the libraries
might not even know about DLP. So hiding the libraries under DLP label
would not be user friendly.

True from a technical point of view. But being the devils advocate here: Maybe
DLP should consider syncing these separate projects and release them as a
consistent collection. If anything, LibreOffice (and in a different realm:
systemd) has shown this to have significant marketing, branding and release
engineering advantages.

This really doesnt belong here, its hardly a QA topic. But maybe DLP projects
should at least consider the thought. Justsaying.

I do not even quite understand what you mean by it. To merge all the
libraries into one? Or to always release everything whether there has
been any change or not? I do not see any advantage in doing that. All I
can see are disadvantages.

We do not want one library to rule them all, with 42 MB tarball and
dozens of dependencies. We want small, independent libraries, that other
projects can use as they need them. There is currently _one_ project
that uses _all_ DLP libraries and that is LibreOffice. Every other
project uses just a few of them.

 If anything, LibreOffice (and in a different realm:
 systemd) has shown this to have significant marketing, branding and release
 engineering advantages.

How would it help with any of that? I would still have to do the same
pre-release work and there would be the same online announcement. Only
it would not be for a single library but for a consistent collection.

Btw, why is this suddenly a problem? There were dozens of products in

I think people want to make it easier for newbies who, generally
speaking, only want to file a bug against LibreOffice. The issue I see
is that we have other user-friendly products like the Impress Remote,
and I can imagine that we may have more such products in the future.

I think that perhaps this is a question for the Design Team to help
address. We have full control of the Bugzilla code, so we can always
play around with the first page that people see. Example:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi
