Hi :) It might be time to cut Base loose. Most versions of MS Office don't include Access. Gnome Office doesn't have a database program. Perhaps Office Suites just don't need an integrated program to do this sort of stuff. Maybe Calc is enough. There are a few alternatives on the market for people that really need a database. To move forwards Base needs a serious commitment and a strong vision of where it wants to get to. If we cut it loose then LibreOffice as a whole is freed from a lot of dependencies and stuff that the other apps don't need. So, lets just drop Base.

If I would convert our Java databases and remove Java from our systems nobody would notice the change. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
