I dislike using antagonistic rhetoric and tactics to give form to community identity. I confess I did this myself, early in OOo's career, but I never engaged in FUD--there was no need, the truth was good (or bad) enough--though I was no doubt frequently wrong.
The current efforts by published journalists, intentional or not, to cast aspersions on Apache OpenOffice, to discredit it, and to cheapen the community's efforts, need to be addressed--but not with antagonism and not with anger. Errors, accidental or intentional, in Wikipedia, for instance, but also among journalists reporting on the successors to OpenOffice.org, must be corrected impartially and accurately. The people who benefit most from our work are the users who can rely upon a fair community which they can join and contribute to and do so with the satisfaction that their contributions are valued in the best possible way: by making the product not only better but more likely to remain a commons. best louis -- Louis Suárez-Potts Apache OpenOffice PMC In Real Life: Community Strategist, Age of Peers @luispo
