I just read this article [1] on the Register: "Apache devs: 'We'll ship no
OpenOffice before its time'"
It is sad that it has the usual misinformation:
You should find the email of the publication's news editor and write a
polite yet firm complaint, saying in fewer words what you said here, put
the writer in cc:, then lay back and enjoy the fireworks. It also helps if
you put such letter on-line and reference it in your e-mail.
Just an idea.. ;-)
I think just ignore it. Why help promote El Reg?
Hm, I like the Register. I like their style and usually their articles
seem to be better researched, at least two years ago, when I read them
more regularly. But more importantly, this is just one of several such
articles in the last months. That makes me wonder if we should not be
more active in making (of what we thing are) the facts better known.
Do we already have an anti-FUD page in the Wiki that we can easily
reference in comments to such articles?

Look at the numbers:
www.openoffice.org: Alexa Traffic Rank #3715:
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/openoffice.org
theregister.co.uk: Alexa Traffic Rank #4251:
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/theregister.co.uk
In other words, our website gets more traffic than their news site does.
And libreoffice.org is ranked #8163:
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/libreoffice.org
So the best strategy is to ignore the the FUD and push accurate and
useful information onto our website. That approach reaches more
users, and is under our control.
