If you want it to stay in the tree, you will have to find someone to |
52 |
maintain it or maintain it yourself. Otherwise, it looks like OOo is |
53 |
going to be checking out pretty soon. I would rather stay with OOo |
54 |
myself but I'm not a dev and to be honest, have no interest in being one |
55 |
either. |
