As noted earlier must use approximately 20% but not the same 20%. I would estimate that somewhere around 50% of all the features are used reasonably often and the rest are rarely used. The used features are not necessarily bloat but should be available either with the package or as extensions. The selection of which are included is probably best left to the programmers. I suspect some are easier to added as extensions while others are best included in the package. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
