This sounds like one possible good move for LibreOffice: Base as as a
front end and PostgreSQL as the engine at the back. That way, we only
have to provide a decent, reliable front end, and we have a
well-supported database engine. Although I would not like to give up
on the possibility of supporting other databases, too. Although if I
had to make a pragmatic choice between badly-implemented complexity of
support for multiple engines and well-implemented support for just one
engine, I'd choose the latter.

Although, like Tom, I'd love to see TDF get something moving with
Google (one of our supporters, no?) and work on Google Docs
integration.

Charles, could we maybe get some technical opinions from Michael and
Thorsten about the feasibility of the above ideas? Michael, Thorsten,
could you maybe explain to us what the problems and prerequisites
would be for the above?
