Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing Libreoffice in Ubuntu

Hi :)
Unfortunately the rest of the LibreOffice Community uses the word "Stable"
to mean something completely different from our ('normal' users)
understanding of the word.

They 'just' mean the program wont crash.  They get very offended at the
mention of the idea of being less than stable because a lot of work goes
into testing to make sure it wont crash.

They wont, don't or can't understand the word "stable" from a normal users
perspective.


Other than that i completely agree with you and i'm fairly certain that
most people on this mailing list probably do too.  It's probably why so
many here stick with "Still" for their clients or on machines they rely on
for actual work.

Regards from
Tom :)
