Re: Remembering Ian Lynch in 4.1.2 announcement

Well said JZA, yet a mention in the release announcement is appropriate only if the deceased worked on it directly. That's my 2 cents. On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 10:41 AM, JZA wrote: > On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 2:00 AM, Jürgen Schmidt > wrote: > > > On

About voting

Hi I was wondering, why is it necessary to vote for a minor release (4.1.1 to 4.1.2)? Voting for a major release makes sense. Is a unanimous vote necessary for a release? Where can voting history per release be found? It is interesting to see how voting results predicted the actual public

Apache replacement

Hi What does it take to buy back OpenOffice from Apache? I'm sure there are commercial entities that will be happy to develop it. Apache isn't doing a great job... Best regards, Don PS I don't want a merge with LibreOffice!

Re: Updating the WHY section of www.openoffice.org

The "Why" page is important and shouldn't be discarded. The advantages over MS Office are obvious... It is far less obvious how AOO is currently better than LO / Gnome Office / Calligra Suite. The references to scientific papers in Gnumeric home page are a good example for a convincing "Why" page.

Re: [REPORT] Issue Clearance Quality + Technical Debt

Very interesting, thank you. Perhaps the reduced activity is an indication for the saturation state of the project (i.e. all the possible bugs and features already exist in Bugzilla)? Is it possible to compare this information with other office suites? On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 9:22 PM, Dennis E.
