Hi, First I would like to thank everyone who makes OpenOffice available, it is appreciated to have a LibreOffice alternative in the open source world.
Second I would like to say the installation process is a large barrier to general uptake of the software. The fact that there are no simple, single file, ready to install package makes this a niche power user project as opposed to something that is truly accessible to everyone. The software is likely great, I used it back in my Windows days and it was nice to have, but in Linux it's only a couple of notches simpler than building it from source code. Yes, many of us could​ do it but most don't because it's a pain in the butt and this ensures that LibreOffice wins and OpenOffice remains a perpetual developer project in Linux. I'm writing this because I like OpenOffice, I like Apache and it's unfortunate that it's as inaccessible as it is. Please fix this and OpenOffice could actually become popular in Linux if that's the goal. Thanks. -Grahame
