Well we open te code and we encourage people to download it, i think thats more than the average proprietary software cooperation. They are free to donload audit it and ask about it. Also remember that OOo is made in C++ which maybe might not be the ideal language used on all this web apps, we also have used some other common libraries that might be too heavy to migrate to a web enviroment.
But you are asking an open source community to help develop a prorpietary company (writley, irows) when usually should be the other way around. On 7/15/06, Florian Staudacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi! Thanks for your response and for the links. Now I have at least some URLs where I can find some online word processing,... Ok... Now I can understand why there isn't a web-version of OO. But I still think you could at least co-operate with these providers of "online-offices" that they don't have to make all their experience their own. ;-) I mean: you could help them with the features of their applications - you already have them in your office-suite and they have to implement it their own... The doc-types are really a weird thing. The best would be a open and standardisized type, but unfortunately there won't be one in the near future.
