I wonder what this means for go-oo that Novell used to run? Will those changes get merged?
According to the FAQ on the OfficeLibre site.....
Q: What does this announcement mean to other derivatives of OpenOffice.org?
A: We want The Document Foundation to be open to code contributions from as many people as possible. We are delighted to announce that the enhancements produced by the Go-OOo team will be merged into LibreOffice, effective immediately. We hope that others will follow suit.
So I guess this will be in the OBS soon, and perhaps could be used as a replacement for openOffice? At least for those willing to see how well it works compared to the OO code? Perhaps it should be a parallel install with programs like loffice instead of ooffice, and so on, allowing openOffice to remain until it is not needed?
Its the same code. At least today. The version number system remains intact and everything. Since it was GPL they could just take it and go. So could you. So it should be and look identical with maybe a name change. But just because Larry is such a nice guy my bet is there are lawyers swarming all over it looking for things they can contest. All and all I feel much better having this project back in the hands of a small focused organization with nothing better to do. -- _____________________________________ At one time I had a Real Sig.
