Thanks for sharing your view on this. In hindsight, it was always going to be a very tough sell to get Go-oo developers to contribute to AOO, when they had already gone through so much trouble (for years) to get away from Sun's control.

Whatever comes next, I hope OpenOffice users won't be left with unsupported software that won't ever be upgraded anymore (maybe release an upgrade from AOO to LO?). I also hope the OpenOffice trademark won't be allowed to lapse, as that would make it very difficult to combat malware-infected OpenOffice fakes.
