Lack of developers delays OpenOffice.org (ComputerWorld)Lack of developers delays OpenOffice.org (ComputerWorld)Posted Apr 20, 2005 18:41 UTC (Wed) by leandro (subscriber, #1460)Parent article: Lack of developers delays OpenOffice.org (ComputerWorld)
Could it just be that it is too big, proprietary, complex to work with?
I mean, besides the mess about Sun getting your code to put into proprietary projects -- which I don't think it should be a big issue, since it is the same with Mozilla --, there is the issue of (proprietary) Java encroachment on the codebase, and of it being really big and relying on yet another cross-platform framework.
That said, if Sun really, really wants OpenOffice.org to accelerate, it could either free Java, or make sure it compiles fully-featured with free Java. This would both remove proprietariness, and help prepare to eliminate bloat in the form of the underlying framework.
