I can see how you might believe this, but I'm not sure it is grounded in fact or experience. In fact, look at where we ended up: - Oracle pulled all resources from the project. - TdF did not obtain the trademark or the openoffice.org domain. - The community ended up fractured. Regardless of who's "fault" this is, had the discussions been done in public and involved all of the community instead of a select group, the results might have been different. That's water under the bridge at this point, but given the results, a little bit of introspection and willingness to make accommodations might benefit everyone. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
