David, Extensive records of OOo since its inception in 2000 exist. My own understanding is that the milestones are still obvious.

The generally useful milestone pages may still, too, be available via the Internet Archive, of course; but that goes without saying--? louis David Gerard wrote: > Rob Weir wrote: > >> Take a look at the lovely new page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice >> Some choice bits of distortion: > > > Thanks for publicising this.
