So far the LibreOffice project has avoided creating support forums
that "compete" with the openoffice.org lists; would it be smart to
explore a way to have this broader, collaborative support in place?
I would not characterize it quite that way - LibreOffice has taken the
same path that OO.o took, which is to say they have eschewed web based
support, and that TTBOMK had nothing to do with not wanting to compete
with OO.o forums.
Drew we rarely disagree, but the reality is that LibO can afford to take
this view because the vast majority of the Lib user queries come to our
forums anyway. Most LibO users are like me: LibO was the OOo distro
that was bundled with my OS (Ubuntu). At the moment there is so little
difference from a user-perspective that its not worth removing LibO and
downloading OOo.
Though this situation might regrettably diverge rather than converge.
