I'm not amused to see forces to be splitted, needed to bring up new
infrastructure. If You and others think no power is lost by going in
that discussion then do it.

Considering the work already done to come up to where we are now [1],
I'm in doubt whether this approach gives any advantage to the project
and the communities work.

As mentioned earlier by others: There won't be a solution satisfying
every community member - at least not within any reasonable period of
time.

I doubt, that will be stopped that way. There will be winners an loosers
and who likes to loose? :o))

Start, if You don't have any idea to bring in your work on some other
place of LibO.

If once the community infrastructure and the production process is
put on its feet, I'll support a "name fork" which can show the power of
a more smooth name by "feet poll" - winner by download rates ;o)).

Just my 2¢(€) :o))
