Re: [tdf-discuss] TDF/LO on a wrong way?

Johannes,
Perhaps this is not the place to insert myself, and if not, I will desist.
I think your question is a good one.  I think LO is a side-effect of this
desire for something seminally different.  Most people were mostly satisfied
with what OO.o could do.  The fear of being roped into a single Oracle
vision and a longing for what might be accomplished by a community driven by
community rather than subtle coercion are the drivers of the schism that
started TDF. (IMO)
A few years ago, There was a similar conversation which led to the formation
of the centralized polylingual support web site for OO.o.
I was one of the original team that drove that move.  The outcome, though
solving the issue of our site being controlled by a single individual, was
not what we had hoped.   We could not push past the work-a-day aspects of
getting the site up, similar to some responses here.
Where I went, and where you are going here, is into deeper strategy and
positioning of the organization. The deeper strategy gives the organization
legs. Without it, we have 1 software suite and we can never hope to have an
impact upon the world beyond stealing market-share from other similar
products.
