Hi Nige,

However, if you Google-search on the terms "Community Edition", you will
find an abundance of opensource "Community Editions" out there, some of
which are large projects. If this particular label is adopted, the
TDF/LibreOffice should be clear on defining the meaning of the terms of
"LibreOffice Community Edition". Clear messaging is important on large
projects as many different cultures are served and different combination
of terms may or may not bring on multiple connotations. So, the
TDF/LibreOffice should be clear in stating its reasons for adopting any
labels, product names etc. on the LibreOffice and TDF websites.

BTW ... I like your signature! Great!

Cheers,

Marc
