'In a healthy project we would expect to see a large number of volunteer developers involved, in addition — we would expect to see a large number of peer companies contributing to the common code pool; we do not see this in OpenOffice.org. Indeed, quite the opposite we appear to have the lowest number of active developers on OO.o since records began: 24, this contrasts negatively with Linux's recent low of 160+. Even spun in the most positive way, OO.o is at best stagnating from a development perspective.'"http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&op=image&style=h0&sid=08/12/28/0124230 (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/28/0124230&from=rss)
