Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice forks

Hi :)
Quite! :)

So which is the 'new' thing?
*  Old existing code-base that still has remnants from a decade ago
*  core community of people who have been working with it, again some
dating back to a decade ago (presumably from early childhood judging from
some of the photos of some of them)

That's the 'new' one right?


Someone sent me and my boss a new image to use as a wallpaper.  He started
using it first.  Then i used it.  Then he deleted his and started using
something else.  So my wallpaper is the 'new' one right?

Regards from
Tom :)
