cool. that is, as i said, from the discussion from last year i think.
i regularly submit bug reports and have something like 20-25 open issues that i have submitted.
its nice that 11 people are doing dev work but don't you think we should be doing more? wouldn't it be possible to get a grant from wikimedia for doing dev work directly under foundation rather than from collabora et al? wikimedia certainly has the money to bankroll LO.
that said, 11 people are not a lot considering the scope of the project.
why doesn't the foundation use cheap labour from other countries? you can certainly have 5 FTE at the cost of a single american/german one? india for example. There is a lot of indian/indonesian communties. these volunteers would love to be paid to fix things.
why don't you explore that ?
