Hello Charles, I would be happy and honored to take a more active role. LibreOffice is truly amazing. I am so excited, I printed the 2013 LO calendar and it's on my desk wall now :)
Anyways, I think our competitor's arguments are aimed at business users, not individuals. And for those businesses that required the extra "features" such as email and collaboration, well, there is a solution out there offered by Novell: - Novell Open Workgroup Suite http://www.novell.com/products/openworkgroupsuite/ - Novell Open Workgroup Suite for Small Business http://www.novell.com/products/openworkgroupsuite/smallbiz/ (both include LibreOffice) You probably knew about these already, but thought it's worth mentioning again for anyone who wasn't aware.
