So we reached the 85 million download mark. Yea! 100 million will be here soon. Even if we never have another release we will reach 100 million sometime in the next few months. It doesn't require much effort. Inertia will do it. We have a solid application, translated into many languages, available on all major operating systems. We have a popular brand name and user satisfaction as well. 100 million will not require much effort at all.
So let's set a bigger target for ourselves. How about 250 million, a nice round number? To get there will require more than just the status quo. It will require more than just repeating ourselves. What kinds of things would we need to do to reach that kind of goal? 1. Additional translations, especially for large language communities like Hindi, Malay, Telugu and Persian. 2. A leap forward in product quality and performance 3. Nailing Microsoft interoperability, across binary and XML formats 4. Working well out-of-the-box on all platforms, meaning code signing on Windows and Mac and repository installs on Linux. 5. Something extra, something unique. We need to be more than just gratis and libre. There needs to be a reason to use OpenOffice even if you already had Microsoft Office. Any ideas? -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
