LibreOffice Wants Apache to Drop the Ailing OpenOffice and Support LibreOffice Instead
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
It is a no-brainer that Apache OpenOffice is still a relevant recommendation when we think about [open source alternatives to Microsoft Office][1] for Linux users. However, for the past several years, the development of OpenOffice is pretty much stale.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, it is not a shocker, considering Abhishek wrote about the [possibility of Apache OpenOffice shutting down][2] back in 2016.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, in an [open letter from The Document Foundation][3], they appeal Apache OpenOffice to recommend users to start using better alternatives like LibreOffice. In this article, I shall mention some highlights from the blog post by The Document Foundation and what it means to Apache OpenOffice.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Apache OpenOffice is History, LibreOffice is the Future?
|
||||
|
||||
Even though I didn’t use OpenOffice back in the day, it is safe to say that it is definitely not a modern open-source alternative to Microsoft Office. Not anymore, at least.
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, Apache OpenOffice is still something important for legacy users and was a great alternative a few years back.
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s the timeline of major releases for OpenOffice and LibreOffice:
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Now that there’s no significant development taking place for OpenOffice, what’s the future of Apache OpenOffice? A fairly active project with no major releases by the largest open source foundation?
|
||||
|
||||
It does not sound promising and that is exactly what The Document Foundation highlights in their open letter:
|
||||
|
||||
> OpenOffice(.org) – the “father project” of LibreOffice – was a great office suite, and changed the world. It has a fascinating history, but **since 2014, Apache OpenOffice (its current home) hasn’t had a single major release**. That’s right – no significant new features or major updates have arrived in over six years. Very few minor releases have been made, and there have been issues with timely security updates too.
|
||||
|
||||
For an average user, if they don’t know about [LibreOffice][6], I would definitely want them to know. But, should the Apache Foundation suggest OpenOffice users to try LibreOffice to experience a better or advanced office suite?
|
||||
|
||||
I don’t know, maybe yes, or no?
|
||||
|
||||
> …many users don’t know that LibreOffice exists. The OpenOffice brand is still so strong, even though the software hasn’t had a significant release for over six years, and is barely being developed or supported
|
||||
|
||||
As mentioned in the open letter, The Document Foundation highlights the advantages/improvements of LibreOffice over OpenOffice and appeals to Apache OpenOffice that they start recommending their users to try something better (i.e. LibreOffice):
|
||||
|
||||
> We appeal to Apache OpenOffice to do the right thing. Our goal should be to **get powerful, up-to-date and well-maintained productivity tools into the hands of as many people as possible**. Let’s work together on that!
|
||||
|
||||
### What Should Apache OpenOffice Do?
|
||||
|
||||
If OpenOffice does the work, users may not need the effort to look for alternatives. So, is it a good idea to call out another project about their slow development and suggest them to embrace the future tools and recommend them instead?
|
||||
|
||||
In an argument, one might say it is only fair to promote your competition if you’re done and have no interest in improving OpenOffice. And, there’s nothing wrong in that, the open-source community should always work together to ensure that new users get the best options available.
|
||||
|
||||
On another side, one might say that The Document Foundation is frustrated about OpenOffice still being something relevant in 2020, even without any significant improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
I won’t judge, but I think these conflicting thoughts come to my mind when I take a look at the open letter.
|
||||
|
||||
### Do you think it is time to put OpenOffice to rest and rely on LibreOffice?
|
||||
|
||||
Even though LibreOffice seems to be a superior choice and definitely deserves the limelight, what do you think should be done? Should Apache discontinue OpenOffice and redirect users to LibreOffice?
|
||||
|
||||
Your opinion is welcome.

LibreOffice 希望 Apache 放弃陷入困境的 OpenOffice，转而支持 LibreOffice
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
对于 Linux 用户来说，当我们想到[微软 Office 的开源替代品][1]时，Apache OpenOffice 仍然是一个相关的推荐，这是不言而喻的。然而，在过去的几年里，OpenOffice 的发展几乎是停滞的。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，考虑到 Abhishek 早在 2016年 就写过 [Apache OpenOffice 关闭的可能性][2]，这并不令人震惊。
|
||||
|
||||
现在，在[文档基金会的公开信][3]中，他们呼吁 Apache OpenOffice 推荐用户开始使用更好的替代品，比如 LibreOffice。在本文中，我将提到文档基金会的博文中的一些重点，以及它对 Apache OpenOffice 的意义。
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
### Apache OpenOffice 是历史，LibreOffice 是未来？
|
||||
|
||||
尽管我当年没有使用过 OpenOffice，但可以肯定地说，它绝对不是微软 Office 的现代开源替代品。至少现在不是了。
|
||||
|
||||
是的，Apache OpenOffice 对于传统用户来说仍然是很重要的东西，在几年前是一个很好的替代品。
|
||||
|
||||
以下是 OpenOffice 和 LibreOffice 的主要发布时间线：
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
现在 OpenOffice 已经没有重大的开发了，Apache OpenOffice 的未来是什么？最大开源基金会一个有些活跃的项目没有重大发布？
|
||||
|
||||
这听起来并不乐观，而这正是文档基金会在他们的公开信中所强调的：
|
||||
|
||||
> OpenOffice（.org），LibreOffice 的”父项目“，是一个伟大的办公套件，它改变了世界。它有着引人入胜的历史，但**自从 2014 年以来，Apache OpenOffice （它现在的家）还没有一个重大的版本**。没错，六年多来，没有重大的新功能或重大更新到来。很少有次要的发布，而且在及时的安全更新方面也存在问题。
|
||||
|
||||
对于一个普通用户来说，如果他们不知道 [LibreOffice][6]，我肯定希望他们知道。但是，Apache 基金会是否应该建议 OpenOffice 用户尝试使用 LibreOffice 来体验更好或更高级的办公套件呢？
|
||||
|
||||
我不知道，也许是，或者不是？
|
||||
|
||||
> ...很多用户不知道 LibreOffice 的存在。OpenOffice 的品牌仍然如此强大，尽管该软件已经有六年多没有重大的版本发布，而且几乎没有人开发或支持它。
|
||||
|
||||
正如在公开信中提到的，文档基金会强调了 LibreOffice 相对于 OpenOffice的 优势/改进，并呼吁 Apache OpenOffice 开始推荐他们的用户尝试更好的东西（即 LibreOffice）：
|
||||
|
||||
> 我们呼吁 Apache OpenOffice 做正确的事情。我们的目标应该是**把强大的、最新的、维护良好的生产力工具送到尽可能多的人手中**。让我们一起努力吧！
|
||||
|
||||
### Apache OpenOffice 应该做什么？
|
||||
|
||||
如果 OpenOffice 能完成工作，用户可能不需要努力寻找替代品。那么，因为他们的缓慢开发而呼唤另一个项目，建议用户采用未来工具并推荐它是一个好主意么？
|
||||
|
||||
在争论中，有人可能会说，如果你已经完成了，并且对改进 OpenOffice 没有兴趣，那么推广你的竞争对手才是公平的。而且，这并没有错，开源社区应该一直合作，以确保新用户得到最好的选择。
|
||||
|
||||
从另一个侧面来看，我们可以说，文档基金会对于 OpenOffice 在 2020 年即使没有任何重大改进却仍然有重要意义感到沮丧。
|
||||
|
||||
我不会去评判，但当我看了这封公开信时，这些矛盾的想法就浮现在我的脑海里。
|
||||
|
||||
### 你认为是时候把 OpenOffice 搁置起来，依靠 LibreOffice 了吗？
|
||||
|
||||
即使 LibreOffice 似乎是一个更优越的选择，并且绝对值得关注，你认为应该怎么做？Apache 是否应该停止 OpenOffice，并将用户重定向到 LibreOffice？
|
||||
|
||||
欢迎你的意见。
