I've seen a couple of examples of: 1) A contributor contributing the same code (or similar code) to both AOO and LO. 2) LO taking a patch from AOO and integrating it into LO. I've also heard that LO is "rebasing" on AOO code in order to switch their license to MPLv3.. But I have not been able to figure out what this actually means and whether or not it involves source code. But it is probably safe to say that there is no widespread sharing of code between the two projects. I have hopes that this will change in the near future. -Rob > > (Q) AOO lists use addresses such as ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org and > ooo-...@incubator.apache.org.

But even if the subscription information is preserved, subscribers who use filters and rules in their mail client will need to update them. We should probably start a wiki page for migration-related information, so we can keep project members and observers up to date. -Rob > > -- > Andrew Pitonyak > My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt > Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php >
