Re: [tdf-discuss] outdated LibreOffice Portable (MS Windows)

When in the past it was suggested by several people to get in touch with
them to explore a closer collaboration, this was always refused because
it would have "offended" John Haller (and they were linked only by the
Italian community).

So, I do not see why they should link to our infrastructure when they
have been ignored (if not considered as second class citizens because of
their geographical origins). In fact, they are doing a better job than
John Haller, who is clearly not able of keeping up with our release
schedule, and they do this without our help.

I think that people can judge by themselves who is doing a better job of
supporting LibreOffice with the regular availability of the last version
of the software, and download what is more useful for their needs.
