[us-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] LibreOffice and OpenERP

Hi :)
Happy new year all!!  Even to those that celebrate the beginning of a new year at other times.  

It's a classic!  They claim that Base is easy to use as a front-end but haven't tried it 
themselves.  Then they would rather sink tons of their resources into creating their own front-ends 
and create their own quagmire of bugs.  Many of the problems they encounter as they create their 
front-end may well have already been avoided or dealt with by the team that has worked on Base.  
So, they need to create their own systems for bug-triage, fixing, testing and QA.  

If they put those resources into using Base as their front-end then a LOT of the support and 
development work would be done by people they didn't even have to pay.  Of course some of the work 
they did pay for would be used by people that weren't using their product but those people would 
become more aware of their product as a result.
