sorry but you try to refract. Please read my replies carefully. I'm not
talking about numbers and this is not my matter here.

And really I'm personally not frustrated. But as a member of TDF I'm
frustrated about the actions of board members, not fostering
opportunities for TDF/LibreOffice especially (online) collaborative
versions of the softwre. And I hope I'm not the only TDF/community
member who is concerned about this process.

And here you try to refract again. The matter is not, if one could set
up a project else where (like another LibreOffice Online fork), but if a
collaborative work could be done on the resources and under the umbrella
of TDF. There were times, when TDF was eager to broaden its OSS basis
and try to convince further OSS projects / initiatives to join the
foundation.

Regards,
Andreas
