The libre office team should really start a campaign to make everyone know that OpenOffice is dead and Libre Office is the future. The standard user still thinks that OpenOffice is the free office and most of the standard users would never have heard of Libre Office.
Of course it would be helpful to redirect visitors of the OOo website, but I fear this would not happen. So the best thing would be to start a "switch to Libre Office" campaign.

- mindcrime 11y agoThe libre office team should really start a campaign to make everyone know that OpenOffice is dead and Libre Office is the future. WTF? No they shouldn't. How about both projects just keep moving forward in their own way, and deliver the best results they can, and let people decide what they want to us? There's no need for this kind of public smear campaign conducted between OSS projects. Better yet, would be more cooperation between the two projects, and a dropping of whatever enmity / bad-blood exists between the two "camps".
- cryptos 11y agoI don't want a "smear campaign" but more an "education campaign", it's a matter of the tone. I wouldn't suggest such a campaign if OpenOffice would be alive, but is dead. Dead as a doornail.
