Forwarding from apa...@apache.org ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sicco van Sas <si...@ddo.nl> Date: Tue, Dec 24, 2024, 6:16 PM Subject: Please clarify current state of Open Office or archive it To: <apa...@apache.org>
Dear Apache, The current state of Open Office makes Apache and open source software as a whole look very bad. Apache Open Office has not received substantial updates nor changes in nearly a decade, yet there is no mention of this anywhere on the download page. In the best interest of the community, please consider mentioning this information, as well as providing a link for users to download other actively maintained office software. The Apache Open Office GitHub repository receives regular commits, but these changes seem to largely be whitespace-only. This gives the impression that the repository is more active than it really is, as non-substantial changes seem to make up a large number of the commits added. Please archive the repository if active development has ceased. Sincerely, Sicco van Sas
