Re: [libreoffice-users] ... not working ...

Hi :)
Just one thing.  LO is not particularly small and it's definitely not new.  The original code was 
called Star Office and was developed around a decade or so ago.  After a couple of years Sun took 
it on and called it OpenOffice.org and then TDF took the code and called it LibreOffice.  So there 
are probably chunks of the code and ways of doing things that date back to the last century!  Hence 
why you still see references to "soffice" if you look in your task-manager or systems processes.  

Now that a lot of the old irrelevant comments and stuff have been almost cleaned out (allegedly) it 
might be possible to focus more on streamlining and using more modern approaches in some areas.  It 
should definitely be easier to find your way around the code and i think that is going to have some 
big impacts on the effectiveness of any work done by the devs.  The Pita stuff is nearly done.  
Time for some fun!  (or have i got it wrong again?)
Regards from
Tom :)
