I fear that we are back where this conversation started: Everything can be managed inside Apache OpenOffice project.
Even if I change "managed" to "accomplished" I do not see how "Everything" is achieved without *necessary* bureaucracy. I think it is time to deal with individual specific requests so that the conditions on being "inside Apache OpenOffice" can be applied case-by-case. With experience, I think it will become clear. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Paulo de Souza Lima [mailto:paulo.s.l...@varekai.org] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 10:19 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Dealing with a large and diverse project - Native Languages and project teams 2012/5/21 Paolo Pozzan <pa...@z2z.it> > Il 20/05/2012 21:25, Dennis E.
