Italo, you are a firm defender of LibreOffice but sometimes your hate for AOO and Rob Weir blind you and then you loose any argument. italovignoli wrote > Do you really believe that a Mongolian who was used to use OOo in > Mongolian is happy to use AOO in English?

No one mentioned updates. The statistics are for downloads per country. And yes, there are for sure many Mongolians that speak and read English and are happy to use a software in English. I am Portuguese but I prefer to use the software in English. Assuming that people can only use a software if it is available in their native language is both absurd and paternalist. In any case I agree with a previous argument > Instead of advertising the value of Free Software to the public (and > LibreOffice is Free Software as AOO also is), you only think in a > LibreOffice versus AOO pattern. As a Director of the Document Foundation it would be much more interesting if you provided similar information ABOUT LibreOffice instead of AGAINST AOO... -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/How-did-AOO-figure-it-was-worth-21-Million-dollars-a-day-or-7-billion-per-year-tp4038695p4038884.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Do you really believe that a Mongolian who was used to use OOo in Mongolian is happy to use AOO in English? This is just an example, but the concept is exactly the same for another 80 languages, which might be minor for someone speaking only English but are not minor for the people speaking that language. The update mechanism suggests the Mongolian to download the new version, but I really wonder that the new version in English will be used at all. Of course, the concept is difficult to explain to someone speaking only English, and willing to spread false information. -- Italo Vignoli - italo.vign...@gmail.com mob +39.348.5653829 - VoIP 5316...@messagenet.it skype italovignoli - gtalk italo.vign...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

SourceForge reports downloads by country. It appears that the number of languages supported does not limit the locations where the downloads happen (although destination country is necessarily an estimate, just as it is on the ClustrMap of visitors to my web sites). I assume that as language versions increase (as just happened in a refresh of AOO 3.4.1), the proportion of downloads will improve for countries where those languages are used/preferred by someone. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Italo Vignoli [mailto:italo.vign...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 09:26 To: charles.sch...@documentfoundation.org Cc: webmas...@krackedpress.com; us...@global.libreoffice.org; discuss@documentfoundation.org Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: [tdf-discuss] How did AOO figure it was worth $21 Million dollars a day or $7 billion per year?

At least that's how I would do it. Average number of downloads per day, multiplied by 150 dollars (which is the inflated average price of MS Office Home, as the price is less than 80 dollars now). By the way, they claim 236 countries and territories while their language versions are around 10% than that.
