As we perform the final preparations to release Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 it is a good time to look ahead to the future. A big opportunity is OpenOffice 4.0. That once seemed so very far away, but 2013 is getting closer every day. Will it be a large collection of small ideas? Will it have a major overarching theme? Or will it just be whatever random stuff we happen to have on a given date when we release 4.0? The answer, of course, depends on what we, as project members/volunteers decide to do. It is a good time now, as a background activity, to poll the community and wider ecosystem on ideas for Apache OpenOffice 4.0.
To participate, go to this page on Google Moderator, where you can help us gather and rate ideas: https://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=2011d5 A few project members have already "seeded" this with some initial ideas. Of course, you are encouraged to add your own ideas, as well as rate the ideas of others. Try not to censor yourself from thinking outside-of-the-box. We need big ideas as well as incremental ones. We don't have a close date on this brainstorming activity, but it is good to get your ideas in early, so there is an opportunity for others to rate and comment on it. Regards, -Rob
