Re: [tdf-discuss] I like the name LibreOffice

Hi All,

Completely agree with Paul Norman.

Being an Indian myself, I completely agree with his insight.

I also completely agree with his suggestion:
Why not languagae Group Names?]

Romance Languages: LibreOfficeInternational

English: FreeOffice

Sorry Can't give you any input on 'Mandarin: Office-免费' Hope our Chinese  
friends can help.

Best Regards,
Paul

It would be nice to have something that works really well  
inInternational English, and that sounded good to Asians as well.Chinese  
friends inform me that they sometimes have troubole withwords/part words  
that end in RMy Indian friends for the most part would have no trouble  
saying thename (though it may mean little to them having no immeadiate  
Englishcognate) - most of their languages and dialects are very rich  
insounds that many other ethnicities can barely even distinguish.I speak  
some French and Spanish and it rolls of my toungue beautifullyespecially  
in Spanish.I really believe that this  will prove more important than  
some haveyet thought.Corporations have been known to invest millions on  
this one thng alone- I kid you not!Serious research/thought would be  
really worthwhile - esp if there issomeone on the list with relevent  
background.Why not languagae Group Names?Romance Languages:
