Well - that's not really so, we have:

* a different, flattened code-base
+ [ yes we have some legacy patches still but they
   are being slowly merged where appropriate ]
* many more contributers - lots of new volunteers are doing
  great work every day, and more arriving and making a
  difference
* lots of translators, QA, and well-wishers from the
  old OO.o community
* oh - and a brand that 'sucks less'(TM), and the new
  website you noticed ;-)

how deeply are you looking ?

> Are there more full time developers?

Yes, but far more importantly, an extraordinary explosion in volunteer
developers - many of them new to the project: which is most exciting.

Sure - RedHat is fully involved eg.

We will include code from Oracle if it makes sense; of course - why
not, this is Free Softare right ? :-)

Well we're working towards a first release in the next handful of
weeks.

HTH,

[Libreoffice] Some questions about the difference between LO to go-oo.

2010-10-15 Thread Nadav Vinik
Hello

Without the change name/website I don't notice any changes.

Are there more full time developers?

Are there more companies that donate developers for that?

Are the releases of the LO depend on Oracle Open Office like LO? (since also
LO is open office version with git of patch differences)

When should LO 3.3 release?

Thanks for your answers

Nadav
