But they sure went to all the trouble to make a distinction between " oracle open office" and openoffice by also adding openoffice.org to the list. they could of just added a openoffice.org link to "oracle open office" page, but decided not to. manangement is making pretty clear they don't think highly about opensolaris.by a) not adding it to the list, like openoffice.org b) not releasing any type of updates c) remaining silence about opensolaris; the other opensource projects have already received updates,upgrades, except opensolaris. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
