Well, the demonstration of initial confusion in the Team OpenOffice.org approach is certainly clear. The teamopenoffice press release is assumed to be "from" OpenOffice.org in the Slashdot lede. (To help with that, apparently Team OO.o holds an OO.o trademark or claimed to at one point.)
I've read through the German materials at the site and, while Google Translator does stumble, the gist of it is pretty clear. This has all the appearance of an over-the-top plea to fund 4 guys to save OpenOffice.org from death-by-abandonment. To further the confusion, the download link for OpenOffice.org 3.3 is into <http://download.openoffice.org>. The "Thank you for your contribution" after a Paypal donation (they have my 5 Euro) is also a page on http://openoffice.org. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Shane Curcuru [mailto:a...@shanecurcuru.org] Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 08:46 To: ASF Marketing & Publicity; ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: We're on slashdot!
