OK, at the moment there are some problems, _but the intervention of Apache also shows that we are properly organized, we have a functioning quality management_. The update cycles are possibly a little too long, but not much. The right update cycle for commercial users, should be between 12-18 months are (necessary security updates in addition) > For that matter ask why people have NOT chosen AOO.

You can see here our recent public email about documentation: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-users-de/201608.mbox/%3C005e01 d1fd3d%2481d13960%248573ac20%24%40wienandt.de%3E Note: the PrOOo box is formally a third-party-Project, but the workers there are also German community members of AOO.
