As far as I remember, it's a first time there are separate devrooms for Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice. It's been 10 years now, is it me or it feels like a waste of efforts ?

OpenOffice is a waste of efforts, sure. It's not really a problem though as there are barely any efforts at all.

That's ridiculous, my wife makes great money using OpenOffice to create and publish digital downloads for teachers.

Here is her e-commerce shop: https://shop.printableprompts.com

If you are in the market to sell digital downloads check the platform I'm building: https://www.makepostsell.com

Open source has lots of efforts and bringong more attention to Open Office (or Libre office) is a great idea.

What parent means is OpenOffice is barely maintained (or no effort is put), not that it's worthless.

They also imply that LibreOffice is where the action is, and is better maintained with a bigger community.

I don't follow the projects to know if that's the case, but that's what the parent seems to mean, not that OpenOffice is not usable.

Thanks for clarifying.
