It is very telling indeed!

Even though there seem to be little agreement on various things, I guess
should be safe to say that we aim at something of better quality than
CE, right?

So let me come back to the bugfix aspect:

Managing bugfixes externally (from Alfresco) is challenging. It gets
more difficult the shorter Alfresco GA release cycles get, and the more
releases need to be maintained. Other than that, applying them is
painful already.

Still, I'd like to see whether we can somehow join forces here.

Today, I have put together an Open-/Libreoffice watchdog which plays
with OOoDirect. Basically, it kills and restarts office in case it dies
or in case it gets stuck. This add-on works as a drop-in jar. I would
put this on github under the OOTB banner if you guys are comfortable
with it. I think this issue is a perfect candidate because the issue has
been around for a while and will most likely be around for some time to
come.

However, I refuse to do amp development. If amp is a must, maybe
somebody else could come up with an aggregation project.

Would anybody on this list be interested to contribute in a bugfix
project? Using it or even contributing fixes?

regards
Andreas
