Re: [tdf-discuss] Houston, we have a problem.

All of you folks that are "running this show" had better start thinking about what the USERS need's 
are, or pretty soon you are going to turn around and find that most of your users have left. I have 
been using OOo for almost as long as it has been available and have told many people about it. But 
right now I am TOTALLY CONFUSED ABOUT JUST EXACTLY WHAT, WHERE, WHY, WHEN, AND HOW of anything 
about OOo versus LibreOffice, or whatever the hell it is.
All concerns seem to be around the foundation, not the software and its users!!!! The TDF exists 
for the development of the software, AND the users of the software, and it really appears to me the 
folks running the TDF have completely lost sight of that!!! Practically everything on the TDF web 
page is about "people"; hardly anything there about the software and what is taking place as OOo 
moves to LibreOffice - I guess that is what is happening???
I am what I think would be referred to as a "typical user - someone who found an excellent 
Microsoft Office replacement and enjoys using it. And has been thankful for the assistance, fixes, 
and upgrades that have been available along the way. But, as I said, I am sitting here, out in the 
country outside a small town in Texas, and am totally confused about just where everything is!!!!
You folks need to "get all your Aggies in a row", and get back to supporting your users!!!

Please, James is right - it is very very difficult as just a User to
find your way around - I've said it a couple of times, and it is
really really true.
