hm - I wonder why we'd need this extra ceremony. From what I can tell, the problem is not acknowledging the problem, but actually fixing it. I've personally addressed a bunch of interop things myself, if and when my time permitted it (and usually made fixing those a priority over other equally important tasks). If beyond that there are urgent issues in LibO that you, or the other ODF-processing FLOSS projects deem important, I think the most promising avenue to success is to motivate hackers to come & fix those. Or is there a recent example where not having such a role was causing much trouble? Of course, talking with you, Jos, Ben & others from those projects on how to improve ODF interop should happen nevertheless - but does take place, works nice & well, often & informally. :) Cheers, -- Thorsten -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
