Despite TDF press releases, there was never unanimous support for

As OOo italian native lang maintainer and TDF supporter I don't really
understand why you keep minimizing and ridiculizing TDF and what they
have done instead to try to understand how they can be useful for the
project.

As a complete outsider, I didn't read Robert's quoted comment as ridiculing TDF. From my understanding, he was just saying that TDF wasn't exactly what he wanted in an OOo fork, so he is pursuing this "fork" because it more suits his needs and the needs of some other members in the OOo community. I don't think this is ridicule, it is just the very nature of "forking" in the open source world and what makes it so great, right?

When the original OOo project wasn't working well, the community forked to create TDF. So, for some people, TDF still isn't working well for them and they want to create something else. That's just the nature of open source and is nothing to worry about...let a thousand flowers bloom and let the users decide.

People from ASF are trying to build a bridge while you keep to destroy
any tentative.

Don't you think it will be a great value *at least* to try to build a
fruitful collaboration?
Reading your blog, I can understand your critics but why don't try a
step back and let it be a chance?
