It was a hard fight to replace 'dead' with 'dormant' on Wikipedia.
The German page is even more negative. But German Wikipedia is in general worse 
in that respect.
Yes, personally I like Wikipedia but regarding OpenOffice there is so much hate and ignorance...

It is funny that the guy said abandon ware since that is what tdf demands. That 
we abandon the AOO code line and recommend the LO code line.

Exactly in line with TDF. "Honi soit qui mal y pense"

Seems like another campaign like we have seen it for decades...

Yes, same on Twitter where I dared to mention OpenOffice as an alternative
to Microsoft Office on a ZDNet post.
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...
