Hey I am not a party of this heated argument. I would like just ask some questions on behalf on my country fellows.
1. I am wondering what new features will go to AOO 5.0. Wiki page still is empty and nobody took care for it for a long time. Can users get to know release plan at least? https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+5.0 2. Where are IBM's developers team from Lotus Symphony project? Earlier there were plenty of them and I could saw them everywhere. On wiki (people like Steve Yin, Lei Wang, Zhang Ying https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+Feature+Enhancement+Backlog ) or on mailing list at the time of AOO 4 release. Now there is silence and you could hear a pin drop. 3. So... Is it true that IBM withdrew their dev employees? I am trying compare AOO and LO speed development based on GitHUB (btw. when OpenOffice was moved from Apache SVN to GitHUB?) and on OpenHUB (former Ohloh). The picture is kind of sad, because it shows steady exodus of people. https://github.com/apache/openoffice/graphs/contributors https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/graphs/contributors https://www.openhub.net/p/openoffice https://www.openhub.net/p/libreoffice
