[libreoffice-marketing] Marketing Objectives for LibreOffice 8.0

Focus of development cycles has been created by me based on what developers were doing. As the 
majority of development is paid by ecosystem's company customers, we are not in the position to 
drive development but we have to get what is developed and make sense out of it.

Let's discuss the topic in a marketing call. Based on my experience, asking for specific features 
is just useless, as these features will not be implemented unless there is a paying customer 
covering the development costs.

Unfortunately, this is one of the drawbacks of open source, when you are working on a mature 
product. Features are developed only if you pay a developer, or if you find a volunteer willing to 
work at that feature (while the first option works, I have never seen the second option become a 
reality).
