[libreoffice-users] Re: Dear libreoffice

Colin,

Thanks for posting!

LibreOffice is a community of volunteer users designers and developers. With
some corporate sponsorship of all facets.
Point is, that you are more than welcome to volunteer the effort to improve
the product, but no one is going to do so for you simply at your behest.

In fact a release build of the 4.2 branch offers reliable cross referencing
and footnotes, and with current development builds (pre-4.3.0) citation and
parenthetical notation has been further cleaned up. 

Additionally the Zotero project  (Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at
George Mason University) already offers a fully functional extension for
LibreOffice that meets technical and academic users requirements on Ubuntu
and all other OSs running LibreOffice.

The Mendeley project (now owned by Elsevier publishing) offers comparable
functions including a "citation plugin" supporting Word, LibreOffice and
BibTex.

If you have specific issues of incompatibility, you can contribute by
writing up and submitting complete bug reports and submitting to the
appropriate project.

Regards,

Stuart Foote
LibreOffice QA volunteer
