Hi Raphael,
Not sure why you aren't trying this conversation on the OpenOffice
Developer list.
It is true there is a lack of c++ devs and QA. We were too dependent on
IBM. You had volunteered to do Windows builds, but had other
considerations?
Regards,
Dave

community problem. The community was simply melted away in the last
year.
We have at the moment no Company who offer devs. And the rest of the
community fights the absolutely urgent issues. There was already a
discussion about retirement, it was refused. But this doesn't mean we
are
out of the danger zone.

pay
20$.

to influence an Apache project. Simply pay a developer, that's it. But
people without big pocket are simply looked out. (if they have no
programmer skills) That's not fair!
