What's next for Apache OpenOffice

These roles are but not limited to the following.

Developers
Infrastructure
Documentation
Quality Assurance
Localization
Marketing
Designers

In the beginning of a project the developer or group of developers are in all of those roles but as the project grows and gains popularity by end users, the end users starts contributing back in which an community starts forming around the project and the roles gradually move from the developer(s) and on to the community members.

Unfortunately the above is something that a lot of developers seem to look down upon the significant the other roles play in the total success of an project as in they have tendency to see little to no value in the other roles but they will quickly find out if those roles existed and suddenly vanish since they would have 6x more load on their back and they also quickly find out when those roles starts to isolate themselves and be filled with community members since they discover they have more time on their hands ( or more time focusing strictly on the code )

So if you say that there where 1000's of hours being spent in one role (developer) in LO then there are equal or more hours being spent in any of those other roles and AOO needs to fill in *all* of those roles not just one (developers) to be on par with LO and to be able to successfully sustain and maintain itself.
