Not really. AOo is still looking for developers. AOo still has troubling releases updates that patch critical security flaws. > Since it compared LibreOffice and Apache's OpenOffice.org, it would be > nice to be able to give comparison info between these two free office suites. AOo is in the nether space, where it is neither completely dead, nor completely alive. Basically, I don't see that situation changing, until either IBM, or another three letter agency decides that AOo needs to be updated, and throws a plethora of paid developers at it. Three letter agencies outside of the Five Eyes, are going to throw their resources at LibO, if only because it is easier to upgrade LibO to something that is secure (^1), than AOo. ^1: Secure here does not refer to malware exploits, but rather, the ability of the software to minimize/prevent unintended leakage of data to unauthorised third parties. BAILS is simply phase one, in addressing that threat-model. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
