Hi Jay, I suppose you are not aware of the internal discussions based on those statistics, which were rejected by a large percentage of the community, to the point that there was a petition to stop the "so called" Renaissance Project. https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=21819 https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=21338 In Orvieto, at the OOo Conference, there was an rather heated session about the statistics, and the entire Renaissance Project, and at the end the project was stopped because it was rather clear that the approach - top down - was not liked by the community. The promise, at the time, was to re-start the survey to obtain more accurate statistics (I cannot remember the discussion word by word as too much time and too many things have gone by). I suppose that some objections coming from Sophie reflect those objections from the community. Unfortunately, the survey was never re-started because of the Oracle acquisition and the subsequent turmoil inside StarDivision and inside the community.
