I think this is the key!!! To give patch immediately (!) back to TDF and 
explain that in the, e.g., proposed distro patch wiki.

I also think that install Libò from one distro's repository is very 
useful to maintain LibreOffice updated as well as the entire whole 
system software and being able to install only a file if this is the 
need instead of reinstall/update all the stuff (the whole "vanilla" Libò 
tar.gz)!!!

Isn't it?

But I think TDF could also be the place in which all distros together 
discuss about new functionality before (!) implement it.

TDF has been made to collect people ideas, discussions, software bugs 
and not only to serve people code. We are a bowl, we live in a XXI 
century very interesting bowl. We must understand this... Are we?

We are here to avoid branches, to merge previously existing projects 
(Go-OO, NeoOffice, BrOffice, OOo4Kids, ...) in one big, open and with 
specific sectors (but single) Project!

We are here to avoid wasting human efforts.

We are here...! ;-)
