Hi Erik,

thanks for clarifications :)

Some questions below...

... We are willing to contribute the whole Symphony to community. The code would be available to the community. (The C++ part of Symphony, also the counterpart of OO.o in Symphony).

Maybe I misinterpret "The C++ part", but does it mean you will contribute the changes that Symphony needs in the OOo code base, but not the Symphony "Application" itself?

From what I know, the Application and all UI (the "chrome") is written in Java, and just embeds the OOo applications. So not contributing the Java part would mean that the "praised UI" that Rob mentioned wouldn't be part of the contribution...

By far, we should focus on getting the first Apache OpenOffice release done.

Right! :)

3, A key performance improvement in Symphony is Async document loading for Writer and Presentation documents. User can see document content get displayed before the whole document content get loaded. It would be more difficult to integrate this into Apache OpenOffice than other features Symphony has

Isn't this a feature that's completely implemented in the OOo code base? My assumption would be that this has no dependencies on Symphony related code - but of course I am just guessing, as I don't see a reason why such dependency should exist.

Last but not least I would like to add that it will be a pleasure for me to continue working with your team on OOo! :)

Best regards, Malte.
