At the moment they seem to be quite happy with posts that are against the 
article but i think a post "outing" PCWorld's method of making money might make 
them unhappy.

There are some excellent comments there already :)

Regards from Tom :)

Perhaps someone could offer to write them another article and ask how much
they
would pay?  A more in-depth article about 1 function or 1 of the packages,
such
as focusing on Writer or Calc or something.  Or perhaps a simple HowTo
Guide or
something?

Hello,

the coverage of LibreOffice 3.3 is generally good, and the span of the
coverage (the number of written articles) is excellent.

Anyone , any journalist is entitled to his/her own opinion, but this
article is somewhat problematic. I usually read these articles and
their comments carefully. They are often good sources to understand the
"outside" perception of an OSS project or product. Yet I don't manage
to find one point that is not sheer and free criticism of LibreOffice
in this one.

My question might be naive so bear on with me: how can we avoid this
amount of crap ? "it's really only good for Open Source Developers but
not in real life" That's not journalism that's prejudice. "I miss
SharePoint"..WTF?

Your comments are welcome (note: I might have taken the issue in a
completely wrong way).

Best,


I had read, which I just did here, that Italo was going to respond to the
article. We should also not be afraid to respond as users as well. Also
note
that PCWorld Business Centre had given us a favourable mention[1]. So, we
are
making inroads. At the moment, I personally think that personal LibreOffice
user
feedback on these LibreOffice review articles should be promoted on our
lists.
After all, we build it, now its time that we make our voice heard.

Cheers

Marc

I just made a couple of comments :-)

Don't forget PC World makes money from selling MS licenses. It's business
model means it makes nothing from promoting open source because this will
detract from customers buying software licenses from them. Someone else
might like to point this out in a comment.
