In some cases, it comes down to having someone around who knows how to =
fix the problem and has undertaken to do so.  The writing tools require =
an entirely different expertise than working on the source code.  Some =
of them are, by virtue of their licenses, not maintainable directly by =
the Apache Project.

Many of us can identify defects while lacking the means or circumstances =
where a repair can be offered and confirmed. =20

PS: If you know of a non-proprietary source of a correct en-US =
hyphenator, that might be something that could be looked into.

PPS: The hyphenation dictionary distributed with Apache OpenOffice 4.0 =
is dated 2010-03-06.  Sorry.  (The one in LibreOffice was last updated =
in 2011-10-07, but that also involved an updated to use Hyphen 2.8.2).

[ ... ]

The slow pace of development at Apache is equally frustrating. AOO 3.4.1 =
is=20
a nice program ... except for the inability of the U.S. English version =
to=20
properly hyphenate words (See bug 119087).  This bug has been around for =

years preventing the use of AOO for serious work in America when =
hyphenation=20
is required. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that it will be corrected in =

Ver. 4, but it has been frustrating to wait for Apache to release a new=20
version until it gets everything right. Perhaps some sort of interim =
release=20
fixing known and critical bugs could be made.

Surely there can be some compromise between LO's torrid release pace and =

AOO's seemingly non-existent pace.
