Hi Phil,
what I meant was the infobox at the top right. In that box it says that
AOO is dormat, which is not correct and which is not in the citations.
The presence of a citation does not necessry mean that the claimed info
is in the citation. If people read on the Wikipedia that AOO is
"dormant" they'll start looking for different office software.

I just looked at the Wikipedia page and don't see anything that's -
strictly speaking - incorrect, or lacking citations. IOW, I don't see any
supportable rationale for removing anything that's there, although one
could question the motives of whoever made it a point to call out some
concerns about lack of activity in the first paragaph of the article.
Nonetheless, I think any attempt to modify that will face opposition.
In a related vein, The Guardian recently ran this article titled "Should I
Switch From Apache OpenOffice to LibreOffice or Microsoft Office".

I don't know if there's any easy way to counter this narrative that's
spreading through the press, about AOO being dead/dormant/whatever, or how
LO is clearly "the winner", but it's definitely unfortunate to see this
kind of stuff spread around so widely. :-(

Hi there,
the Engish Wikipedia claims that AOO is dormant. I can't see where they
have the information from. The sources they use don't say so. I think it's
definitely bad for OpenOffice when people think no more is done about it.
The problem is also that LibreOffice has just published its version 5.0 and
is getting ahead of us.
thanks for the alert.
Wikipedia is composed by a crowd of editors, and you can change the entry
to reflect the facts.
So can anyone on this list. Becoming an editor at Wikipedia is not arduous.
