Edit: I have changed the subject because this post was based on an incorrect understanding I had. My objection was not based on "I don't like LO", but on "the confusion I think will arise if AOO and LO information is mixed together in one place". Please jump to here for my correction and here for how I think this web site should support LO. |
I think it is a fundamental and grave error for this forum, forum.openoffice.org, to support LibreOffice and other derivatives and I ask that this forum ceases to provide such formal support.
LO users have their own forum at Ask LibreOffice and that forum should be the repository of information related to LO, not the AOO forum. LO posters should be re-directed to the LO forum.
AOO and LO share a common beginning, but are now two completely different programs authored by completely different teams. The programs are continuing to diverge so what is valid for one is not necessarily valid for the other. Some obvious differences include LO supports writing to .docx files; LO supports displaying and inserting MS Word Textboxes; and LO creates SAXParse errors. AOO does none of these things.
The value of this forum as a repository of unambiguous information about AOO will decrease as readers will not understand that some posts refer only to LO and are completely irrelevant and even misleading for AOO.
I raised this point in Re: A error with LibreOffice 4.4.1.2 writer save at HTML fil
Please - remove formal support for LO and derivatives from this forum.
