Hi John,

So I like to think of OOo as a community of different projects, each
valuing their contributors according to how they contribute to that
project's aims. I think it is entirely right e.g. for the MP to try and
encourage developers to code what the market wants.
We maybe need some mechanism whereby people gain community points for
doing things, and maybe lose them for just creating noise on lists :-)

IMHO you have a point to some extent. I do not like the noise either.
But consider this.
I do what I am doing here fore a living. I enter a business offices, ask
millions of questions, find out the things employees, staff, board, are
not happy with, look for signs I know by experience and try to
contribute. My success depends on the amount of freedom the board gives me.
Anyone may say anything about me or my actions, it is only information
to me.
So, every letter I type here, is an expensive one to me. I have some
time now and I use it to contribute to OOo. In that time, I have
convinced a few dozen people to at least try OOo, thus giving mee
feedback from anoher side than the community. It is mainly positive.
How does this fit in giving points? :)
People may not like my style, but it is the way I will be able to
contribute to the fullest of my experience.
I would like to thank the members that are helping me out allready. I
have only one intention: Turning OOo into a winning product.
