[snip] Good point - technical authors are not a target market http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Strategic_Marketing_Plan#Target_Markets although we do have an action to encourage authors to write about OOo http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Strategic_Marketing_Plan#People (it is desirable but not mandatory for them to use OOo to create their manuscripts :-)
I wouldn't abandon all hope on the basis of Bruce's article. I'm looking forward to hearing how Jean gets on this weekend http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=dev&by=thread&from=1335402 No doubt she will be able to write a suitable reply to Bruce if her experience is more positive.
