To a degree I think is the wrong issue, the who cares who lead what. The big
issue is if the community is breaking apart. Are there people willing to go
to TDF, and is there people that will remain in OOo no matter what. That is
the big concern in my opinion. It seems more than title fighting, we should
be more concern of what will be the bottom line.

Is TDF wish to leave OOo behind? Seems so, after all, the community made OOo
big (staroffice disappeared from many people's mind). However as for much of
the TDF community now growing, we have been very slow developing the
infrastructure to receive all of the rest of the projects. So for example,
where will the documentation project go, or the distribution project go?
Still uncertain about those issues, I guess they will go with time. Then is
3.3 on OOo which some people will remain until the launch of that version.
