thank you for your very wise words, Cor -- I absolutely share your feelings.

Definitely, Alexandro does a lot, and I do not want to question that. 
However, I myself am aware of some issues in the past that caused real 
issues and discussions, and also doubts. I have always been a friend of 
not digging too much in the past, of getting over things, and of working 
together on shaping the future.

However, this indeed involves talking, so I would very much welcome if 
you and Alexandro could talk, and try to sort out the issues -- either 
in public, or in private if desired.

I am the last to refuse contributions, but as long as there are many 
open issues and questions (and looking over to the OpenOffice.org lists, 
the questions to Alexandro seem to be the same here), I prefer to wait 
before adding the blog to the official planet.

My wish is that things can be sorted out, so let's work together on this.

Florian
