Hi Charles, What is the Pinneberg effort exactly? I must have missed hearing about it before so I'm a little lost on this one. Alexandro--Working closer with the KDE folks would be great. I'd like to present my FOSSbook social network idea to them for some feedback as well... -Ben On S

I read the article, and noticed there are a lot of "It claims" and "It says". No facts at all, no evidence, no tests, no proof. Just claims. Who would take any notice of this? The author has also stated a few things that suggest a general dislike of OpenOffice.org. How come she didn't say that

Hi, These arguments are not new. If you have context-sensitive Google-Ads on a page where Openoffice.org is mentioned, you often get a "OpenOffice.org slow, bloated?"-Ad which points to Softmaker. They do this since years. Not nice. seems they are in dire need to sell something. ;-) Florian
