It appears to me that what "we" should do is to create a blog entry on blogs.a.o which provides more depth and detail in this whole kerfluffle. It could contain WHY the original [DISCUSS] thread was sent, that it was, in fact, a [DISCUSS] and basically to initiate some *thought* and not any sort of admission that AOO is dead or dieing (my follow-up may have not helped there, but it was the basis for why the board wanted answers), clear up some history and FUD which has been spread and summarize that this awareness has resulted in lots and lots of people coming to AOO and offering their help and talents.
Personally, I'd also like to see us "apologize" for allowing Rob Weir to go off a little "extreme" in numerous cases. Again, I doubt that anyone on the TDF/LO side would do the same, and admit their "overzealousness" at times (to the detriment of cooperation), but just because others don't do what they should is no reason for us to not to. If "apologize" is too strong, at least honestly acknowledge it. I understand that the previous paragraph may be controversial so take it or leave it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
