I know of a couple of people who commit code for the mac port and they don't

but not by a company that funds their developing time.

I was not referring to Erwin. Yes there are quite a few Novell developers
not doing l10n work. Take a look at http://ooo.ximian.com/planet for a

I said *independent* developers...tofu-eating communists who are not
employed or are working for themselves.

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.
