Thank you -- this was not clear to me...I didn't really understand the reference to the java wrapper -- sorry. I really was quite in agreement with Fernando's remarks on this thread, and after seeing the additional information on the IBM site, I got more concerned. > The > memory it needs should in the same level of AOO or may be less due to > some optimization we made.

I was thinking that maybe some of the current enhancements in Symphony could perhaps be provided as extensions instead of directly integrated if that's possible. I think many of our users are happy with the capabilities provided now and don't really want extra features that consume more resources. > Last but not the least, the recommended configuration for a software > given by different people may also be different. > Well it would be interesting to see a further discussion on that as well. > > > For more detail info about the contribution, please visit > http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Symphony > I did read through this but it was too much of a summary to provide much detail. Thank you for it though. This is why I decided to find out more client requirements from the IBM site. Yes, we need to discuss in detail development considerations including sustainability, design considerations, but, in the end, our clients are what will ultimately determine success I think.
