Sorry I must have missed the point. He would not like the survey you did.
It's like explaining a (bad) joke...
"...he [Erwin/Sun] didn't seem to care what outsiders thought. As it is
the people on the inside doing the code."
The reason I am concerned for the future of OOo is that Sun treats it
like a proprietary project. The development method in fact bears little
resemblance to an open source project. Can you name any independent
developers who are not l10n who commit code but are not on the Sun team?
Why then are Sun people connected with the project going around saying
constantly that the priority is to increase the number of developers.
Somebody does not understand the problem(s)...or there is a big
disconnect. There are reasons why it's hard to attract volunteers to
this project, coders or other.
Or maybe I'm out of touch and Microsoft is winning at killing interest.

I'll also say after talking to one of the major developers of

he
felt the same way too. This is a decision for the development team to
make.
Such a decision may be taken out of their hands if they are not curious
as to why they cannot get free help from independent developers.
Don't you guess, though, they already know?

He does seem to already know, but he didn't seem to care what outsiders

Adam-
Thank you so much! You just made my ENTIRE point.
