Re: [libreoffice-users] Differences between LibreOffice and OpenOffice

Hi :)
I think it's probably worth just saying that OpenOffice develops a lot more slowly and is therefore 
"more stable".  Bugs go unfixed for longer.  

LibreOffice develops faster, has more features, fixes bugs faster, supports more 3rd party formats 
better but occasionally has regressions which are usually fixed quite fast.  

So, both have problems and advantages.  I think it's worth having an intro like that on a page like 
yours.  Keeping up with precise differences is going to be a nightmare because LO development is so 
fast.  
Regards from
Tom :)

There is a discussion on the Debian list right now about the
differences between LibreOffice and OpenOffice. As the two office
suites diverge, it will become more and more important to document the
differences between them. Therefore I have started a page to document
these differences:
http://dotancohen.com/eng/difference_openoffice_libreoffice.html

If you come across any other differences, or if any corrections need
to be made, then please contact me and I will update the document. It
is currently just a list of bugs but I intend to develop the page into
stand-alone explanation of the differences intended for the layman.

Thank you.
