I am an LibreOffice user since the StarDivision days - at those times on OS/2, before Internet became available for public in Germany. I am happy that this product survived all this and I am especially happy that LibreOffice gained success after one year and so is less under control of companies. Congrats to all the contributors!
By looking at the chart showing which companies contribute how much I am surprised that Canonical has such as small slice in contribution? How comes? It is the distribution that is focused on end users and pushes the desktop, innovates on the UI. Is Canonical putting higher priority on the app store? What do you think?
Another feature that I think is important for LibreOffice and to the OpenSource scene in general is to get some synchronization (and maybe collaboration) functionality, without a vendor lock-in. Mozilla is managed to do this - though the amount of data is surely not comparable. I understand that it costs money to keep all the servers running and adding hard disks, but I think people would be ready to pay a fee - if it is guaranteed to be free of advertisement, the code to stay open source and the data private.
