    Technically all changes are now released under the MPLv2 which explicitly states that as long as you also publish the original code under the same license, you can modify it and use a different license provided that constitutes a 'greater work', so technically AOO could use code released under the MPL as long as it was compatible with their own program, and that's an entirely different issue altogether.

    Wrong! For RO sharing - PDF. For RW sharing - ODT.

    At least LO supports it.
    One done, more to go, gotta start somewhere.

    The sidebar should be a nice addition.

    now if we get new icons it should be as good as a nice UI as it can get imo.

    Maybe having fonts embedded for most fonts, except a few of the most common, as default would be a good idea?
