Well, you cant have a cake and eat it too. Claiming "independence" on
the project homepage and in the very logo that started this thread,
while discussing this on a mailing list of the very organization you
claim independence from is laughable. Uploading such a logo to the wiki
provided by the very organization you claim to be in need of
replacement is outright ridiculous.

Please do, but on _your_ public mailing lists or whatever
infrastructure you have available. While it is IMHO perfectly
appropriate and on topic to discuss technical issues of the
shared/inherited codebase on openoffice.org mailing lists, it is
totally offtopic to discuss the marketing for a derived and
marketingwise fundamentally different product. You would likely be
offended when NeoOffice, Oracle Open Office or Lotus Symphony would be
promoted on TDF mailing lists -- it is offtopic there. I assume nobody
had the lack of courtesy to do so. Please dont lack it here.

Best Regards,

Bjoern
