Fwd: Contributing to LibreOffice.

Just for information.

I have contacted (as earlier agreed) developers who have not been active for quite a while, with 
the mail below.

I am every month monitoring the rate of new people entering the project, compared to people who 
have not added patches for a while, and the relation is slowly improving. Bear in mind it is 
natural that volunteers come and go, depending on the time and energy they have available so this 
is not a measure if the project grows but simply a "change rate".
