There is the brand name "OpenOffice" to be bought. The exact problems with Apache: 1. Lack of releases, should be 3-4 per year as minimum. 2. The tired and boring look and feel of the homepage, blog, facebook, twitter. 3. Lack of innovation, the sidebar is not an example for innovation. 4. The lost contact with Linux distributions. all distributions ship LibreOffice as default. 5. The limited documentation and user support in all forms. 6. The wrong emphasis on M$ formats compatibility, the reason OpenOffice was invented was to rid the world from proprietary formats. If OpenOffice fully supports these, what reason is there for anyone to use the open file format? Regards, Don
