I never heard of any line of code from yourself in OpenOffice.org =20 either. Can you point us some links please ? > I'm a bit surprised by this as TDF has now over 200 developers, That's obviously not true : I myself follow LibreOffice development =20 lists since the beginning, reading most of the changes and patches, =20 and I don't see 200 "developers", means people able to write some new =20= feature of fix serious bugs in any OpenOffice.org derivative product. Of course you can add contributions from Oracle devs either, but =20 that's a lie too, since all OpenOffice.org cws's were added, without =20 Oracle devs being informed they "contributed" :-) Maybe you counted 200 people -say hackers- who contributed in various =20= ways, simple patches or little removing ? To be more objective, count around 30 people sending code and really =20 able to implement something in LO. But considering serious changes, =20 this is another story, and you shouldn't, for credibility reasons go =20 in this direction.
