Hi I think Oracle have decided they are competing with LibreOffice but so far we seem to be co-operating with them. It would be wise for us to 1. Beat them to the finish line. 2. Keep aware of what they are doing, odd stats can help sometimes 3. Keep going the way we have been, rapid growth and development in infra-structure and support along with excellent coding development 4. Keep co-operating as long as they let us.
After initial release we wil, of course, keep developing in all areas so rushing final release and getting it out there wouldn't hurt us. We don't have to worry about corporate clients right now but they do. So a 2nd release in another couple of months wouldn't hurt us but it's almost unthinkable for them.

What I wanted to imply, was that to me LibreO people are doing a good job and not rushing a RC out when it is not ready. LibreO RC4 seems better than OOo's RC10. Might be me, but that is my opinion. I have seen "show stoppers" with OOo's RCs but not one with LibreO so far in its RC2, RC3, RC4. So I have no problem running/using LibreO RC3 or 4 while I rarely will use an OOo RC anymore. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity *** -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
