Interview with Sun's Florian Reuter

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the shiny-new-widgets dept.

silentbob4 writes "Mad Penguin is running a series of three interviews with people in the trenches working to bring you OpenOffice.org 2.0. The first of these interviews, with Sun's Florian Reuter, covers some of the differences between the truly open XML found in OpenOffice.org 2.0, and the closed MS Word ML found in the upcoming Microsoft Office 12. He also discusses the importance of simple end users in the process of improving the code with bug reports."

      Looking at the moderation you got there , It appears that the "Is dying joke" is a dying joke

      Moderators who use an overrated moderation are pathetic cowards . They can't think of a good reason to mod down a post so they resort to the "I didn't like it" mentality . Moderation is there so we can moderate up the funny or informative etc. posts and moderate down the lies , trolls and flamebait.
      If you can't take the heat of the M2 , don't moderate.
