I'm not so sure. Free free to "unbias" it.
There are some minor issues that could be seen as biased but in general it's objectiv and gives a good summary on how the things were and are. BTW I didn't know that this site even exists. When reading this page I get the impression that - the egos put aside - there is more that unites than seperates. Strange. You get the impression that when we put the egos (and childish behaviour) aside there could be a solution even when it needs/means a lot of beer :-) and a neutral moderator having nothing in common with OOo or Neo. > BTW. the other side has done some promotion for OOo Aqua: > http://trinity.neooffice.org/ > http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php I already noticed this and wanted to post it but I had to leave for a meeting so I couldn't. Cool.
