LibreOffice Developer Community Increasingly Robust

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday February 4, 2012 @10:09AM from the you-could-almost-call-it-jolly dept.

New submitter someWebGeek writes "LibreOffice, the community-driven fork of OpenOffice, appears to have a very healthy and growing group of code contributors. The Document Foundation has published new stats that portray the climbing rates of developer involvement both in terms of numbers of people and numbers of code commits. One of the most encouraging aspects, as noted by Ryan Paul in an article at Ars, is that non-corporate code contributions by independent volunteers constitute the largest slice of the latest commit-pie."

Considering Libre Office will run fine without java, okay it's slow to start while it looks for it. But that's about it. It only uses it for openoffice base and a few little usually unnoticed features.
