Re: Merge with LibreOffice?

Then there is the usability issue LO have been attempting to copy MS Office and have succeeded to the point that in many ways it is as annoying as MS Office. AOO, on the other hand, have maintained usability features that, in my opinion, simply make it a better user experience. They may

This isn't a competition to be "won" or "lost". AOO and LO aren't really competing. AOO is for people who want an awesome office suite that's licensed under a permissive license. LO is for people who want the same under a copyleft license. Two different audiences, two different projects.

Re: Merge with LibreOffice?

I think OpenOffice has the larger install base even if LO has much of the Linux desktop distro installs. AOO is still attracting developers and other project members. There may be a finite audience for office suites, but it is a very large audience. Wolf Halton Mobile/Text 678-687-6104 --
