Not so. But I didn't see anyone so committed to their suggestions for improvements that they offered to (help) rewrite the documentation.
I don't know if offering to help rewrite the documentation merits sentiments that anyone who disagrees with your suggestion has a narrow view of the problem.
In fact, I agreed with much of what you wrote. But I happen to think forcing a user to take a quiz is outrageous. We are talking about people who are primarily non-technical and/or lazy. Do you really think people that don't bother to read instructions would take a quiz just to install software? I don't see that furthering the idea of spreading OpenOffice.
All this "intellectual discussion" was doing was contribute to global warming. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Maybe. But I do hope something gets done. In order for OpenOffice to become widely accepted by the masses it needs to become widely acceptable to the masses. A quiz of computer knowledge (and that's likely how many will interpret it) would only further the idea that OOo is by geeks for geeks - i.e. you have to know this much just to use the program.
