It didn't take long for a LO supporter to show up telling me I shouldn't recommend "abandonware". I also noticed that the OpenOffice wikipedia entry has mostly a negative tone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice If you google "Open office" -which is what most users do- you get www.openoffice.org as the first result, which is great, but a blurb on the right side of the screen (technically called a snippet) which reads "OpenOffice.org (OOo), commonly known as OpenOffice, is a discontinued open-source office suite. Active successor projects include LibreOffice (the most actively developed[10][11][12]) and Collabora Online, with Apache OpenOffice[13] being considered mostly dormant since at least 2015." IMHO, Fixing that last sentence of the first paragraph in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org entry is critical to stop this disinformation. I will try to fix it now. Let's see if the moderators let my modification stick... FC
