I personally would very much appreciate if you simply guide this people 
to the ooo-dev mailing list directly to get first hand information.

To be honest I think they can get much better information if they seek 
the dialog with the project directly and we know which information they 
will receive.

You still say it in a way that I can't support and I think you simply 
don't want to accept the reality. Apache OpenOffice is OpenOffice. If 
you don't accept this fact I am really asking what your intention is?

Regards

Juergen


PS: offline for the rest of the day and I am looking forward to a 
probably another annoying thread where I have already said enough now.
