Re: [libreoffice-users] Which components do you use most?

Hi :)
It's just a "just for fun" survey of what people think they use.

The modules can't be split up and removing any wouldn't reduce the
code=base by much at all so the usual sinister hidden-agendas behind this
sort of question are entirely absent.  It's just for fun.

For a lot of us this sort of thing is very difficult because answering
would require us have really measured usage and give accurate answers
rather than guesses.  It's the type of question that neurotypicals and
mainstream-press articles seem to enjoy but that are ultimately fairly
pointless.  It's just for fun and it's interesting to see people's
estimates of what they do and to see how they handle giving answers to this
sort of thing.

If we wanted a formal vote then there are various tools such as "Survey
Monkey", or we could set-up something in LinuxQuestions.Org" or "Ask LO" or
somewhere.

Tom :)
