No, look. I said "volunteer-run" versus "Sun project". And you inferred from this "Sun is not part of the community" and "their interests differ". I did not even imply a distinction between "Sun" and "community". Please stick to what I actually did say. I would appreciate that. > But to clarify: OOo is not by any means an entirely Sun project. To a very large degree it is. For examle, 80-90% of developers are from Sun. > To be sure, a goal is to include more of the community, volunteer or > otherwise, in getting things done.
