"...wrote you have the impression LibreOffice is "doing better". What does that mean? Have you observed what OpenOffice is doing? What is your metric?" OpenOffice currently distributing 3.4.1 LibreOffice currently distributing 3.6.3 That could be one metric, another could be the number of patches being submitted, and another could be the number of developers involved. It strikes me that user numbers are not the metric for free software above a certain threshold. What matters is the work being done on the code, and the 'tidying up' that is being done I gather mainly by LibreOffice. I am a grateful user of both versions by the way (CentOS 6.3 and Ubuntu 12.10) and hope the projects merge some way down the line.
