Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Max Row and Column Support

Hi :)
It is a good find but contains many inaccuracies and needs a lot of tidying up!  
Mostly due to recent history changing things around a bit.  The relevant table 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spreadsheet_software#Specifications
has no row for LibreOffice.  Watch out though as the releases mentioned for 
OpenOffice are point releases only, such as 3.0 & 3.1 & 3.2.  It doesn't mention 
sub-points such as 3.3.2 & 3.3.3 which is good because OpenOffice didn't develop 
those versions.  


Hopefully my edit to the "Spreadsheets that are parts of suites" section in the 
section about Free/open source(?!) clarifies about GO-oo a bit Andy?  Feel free 
to edit if i got it wrong.  Within both OpenOffice now and in the past and in 
LibreOffice there are some devs that are paid by companies and some that work 
for free and some that do both of course!  I think that most of the initial 20 
TDF Founders were working for free but i could easily be wrong.
Regards from
Tom :)

Good find, Steve.  I do see one questionable entry there though.  It
concerns "fork of OpenOffice.org by key developers OpenOffice.org".  It
was my understanding that most the developers were paid by Sun/Oracle
and were not part of LibreOffice.
