I would like to change this part of the description. I think it should be made
absolute clear to the public that the split of the community has happened
before and completely independent from the donation of OpenOffice.org to the
Apache Software Foundation. The creation of LibreOffice/TDF has happend already
last year in 2010.
While I understand why you believe this, I think it's unhelpful "framing"
that's likely to perpetuate division. I prefer Don's approach, which takes a higher-level
view of what has happened.
Not being precise on the historic facts here and creating or only
allowing the wrong impression that the Apache OpenOffice has caused the
split of the community will do harm to this project. It will also hinder
the healing process between the communities. So if you are interested in
the welfare of both communities and the healing between them, help to
handle this with more care.
Thanks,
Ingrid
