Re: [libreoffice-users] Suitability of Lo in Small organisations

Best all you LibO experts and Devs!
What Webmaster now says is a good example on all the basic level issues 
that must be completely eliminated from LibO.

Some posts ago I asked what version of LibO at this moment is to be 
considered as the most reliable and most stable.
And got the answer that LibO3.5.7 is the one for newcomers perhaps 
followed by LibO3.6.2.
(But nothing said about Base, that is my main concern and asked for)

For all of you that know LibO's build-up, its features and work-arounds 
and alternative solutions these issues may seem simple.
But for users like me they are serious - I do not even know where to 
start looking for a solution if I meet such a problem.
It is really a matter of using LibO or not -- and I do not want to have 
different programs/suites for different types of need.
My main interest is to get the job done and because of limits in time or 
costs I cannot accept delays caused by the tool I use.
Obviously I have to continue - even if I don't want to - to buy MSO.

A lack of resources is not a valid excuse as long as you can continue 
developing new bugs and issues - plus them 1000-2000 already waiting for 
fixing.
I know very well that it is never fun to afterwards repair mistakes - so 
better not to make them.

Waiting for the results of your wise decisions  - especially regarding 
Windows with some 90% of the users.
