Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Recruitment for Base (Was Re: [steering-discuss] Base - a new mailing list?)

Hi :)
Google-docs has no database program.  
We have something that is nearly for widespread usage.  
Google devs could use to gain experience of what might be good for a small-scale database program 
suitable for an office suite.  

We need to attract a lot of devs to work on Base or else just watch it fall apart as regressions 
continue to occur.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi David - always helps to Cc people you address, otherwise things 
may linger in my inbox for a while, depending on where I focus on.

Just get the postgresql connector working, and included into the
Oracle SGA grant. Code old-ish & may need minor tweaks. Base has
always been reasonably backend-agnostic.

What does GDocs have to do with Base specifically?

No real probs there - only that all of this is not addressing Base
core development. ;)
