Hello
I am running Kubuntu 10.04 with trinity.
I have seen that Tim sent a patch to libreoffice to make it
work with trinity. What is the state of art of this patch.
What is more recommendable, in question of stability, to use
openoffice 3.4.1 or
libreoffice 3.6.3
Thanks

In short - OpenOffice is dead thanks to Oracle. Use LibreOffice. I think that most of
major
distros replaced OpenOffice with LibreOffice quite a while ago.

I highly recommend LibreOffice because they have a more active development
team and are very organized. Also with LibreOffice you will get nice
integration with TDE

It is my impression, that Libreoffice is more actively developed.
I was only unsure whether it would run smoothly under trinity
(I think I have 3.5.11).

This is not true, Apache was given the code by Oracle. Apache is a great
place for a project, they have many. AOO just graduated to become a
full fledged project after a careful, and time consuming, code review,
incubator status.

I prefer AOO, Libreoffice has broken a feature that I rely upon. Both
run fine on TDE, not sure what 'integration' offers me as a user.
I say try them both, try not to believe the FUD, fwiw, AOO has the
Apache2 license, LO is GPL, this may be the reason for the FUD.

True, but IIRC this only happened after main developers left the project, huge
companies (Google,
Novell) have pledged support for LibreOffice and the community itself gave support to
LibreOffice. Only then Oracle realised that it was left almost completely alone with OO
and
decied to pass the project to Apache.
And I don't want to FUD anyone - I only want to remind how things were *two years
ago*. Since then
I have not used OO, so perhaps should not make statemetnts about it. Anyway Uwe, advice to
try
out both and choose the one you like is reasonable.

IBM is contributing to AOO, both developers and the Symphony code. Just
information not an endorsement. The next release of AOO may very well
have the Dockable Task Pane from Symphony. I tried Symphony, it is
visiually different from AOO & LO.
I filed bug reports on LO starting in 3.4.x, 3.3.x and before was okay.
LO has completelty fubared the 'table>border>line styles' tool in
Writer:-(

That is simply not true. The whole reason LibreOffice exists is because of
how badly Oracle did. LibreOffice has an open and democratic process that
aligns with the open source philosophies, uses a good license and isn't
being run by the ghost of what used to be OpenOffice.org. Apache suffers
from a bad license, few contributors, few releases, many bugs and thousands
and thousands of lines of cruft.
I am so glad that LO exists. Prior to that there was little development
happening in regard to word processors for Linux. Now LO is making leaps
and bounds.

Apache suffers from a bad license
Forgive
my laziness, but could you tell in a word or two what is wrong with Apache license?

There is a reason they used the Apache license and not GPL and there
is a reason those companies contribute to OpenOffice

I dare say there is a reason. If they had chosen GPL, they would have
had a reason. Whatever licence they chose, they would have had a
reason. Does the mere existence of "a reason" make it a "bad licence"?
If so, all licences are bad.

I think more permissive licenses are bad for the Open Source community.
