[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Brochure-type: General Information

Sorry for getting back to this so late.

Thanks for the input Italo. I'll change the text. I also like Tom's 
version but I think without the "also" it sounds as if Base does not 
come as an installed database. If we were to put "also" back in, then 
the impression is that Base is an installed database but could also act 
as a frontend to the databases you mention.

How about if we had:

"Base is a desktop database designed to meet the needs of most users. 
It is a valuable and powerful asset to link to the other LibreOffice 
applications.  Base can also be a good front-end to many 
enterprise-class databases such as MySql/MariaDB or PostgreSQL."

Would this sound better? I think with the "also" included it clarifies 
what Base is all about, but, mentioning the MySql/MariaDB or PostgreSQL 
also shows that it is extensible.

Cheers,

Marc
