This is not an Oracle issue. Rather, it's a longstanding OpenOffice.org policy not to permit the use of our resources for the advocacy of other projects or interests. In the past, we have acted as I did now. The issue at stake is not an us vs. them thing. It's rather, as I mentioned, an effort to ensure that users and contributors are clear as to what they are working on and for. Given the prominence of Charles in the matter, my action here is to be expected, as he is a founding member, I believe, of LibreOffice and the Document Foundation. -louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@native-lang.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@native-lang.openoffice.org
