On the 20th anniversary of the open-sourcing of the OpenOffice.org suite,
the LibreOffice project has sent an
open letter to the Apache OpenOffice project suggesting that it is time
for the latter to recognize that the game is over. "If Apache
OpenOffice wants to still maintain its old 4.1 branch from 2014, sure,
that’s important for legacy users. But the most responsible thing to do in
2020 is: help new users. Make them aware that there’s a much more modern,
up-to-date, professionally supported suite, based on OpenOffice, with many
extra features that people need.
