HehHeh, careful that might appear as a quote in my Apache Way talk at the plugfest ;-) * Seriously though, this news sounds really exciting. I'll let the committers here decide what it means to the OOo project. But as a mentor I welcome the community focussed aspects of your plan. In particular I appreciate that this mail does not assume the community will adopt all the Symphony code without question. It is great that you are leaving space for the community to decide on its own priorities and offering support in implementing those priorities. ... snip lots of cool stuff about the proposed donations ... > For example, the IAccessible2 work which helps > Symphony work better with assistive technology. Speaking personally I find this news really exciting. I'm now even more grateful that some of the a11y folk we contacted in proposal stage have signed up. I'm sure they will be keen to help evaluate these aspects of the Symphony contributions. Ross * don't worry - I won't use that quote. I'll leave it to you to communicate that message however you like.
