The LibreOffice project would
seem to be on a roll. It produces what is widely seen as the leading
free office-productivity suite, and has managed to move out of the shadow
of the moribund (but brand-recognized) Apache
OpenOffice project. The
LibreOffice 7 release is coming within a month, and the tenth
anniversary of the founding of the Document Foundation arrives in
September. Meanwhile, LibreOffice
Online is taking off and, seemingly, seeing some market success.
So it is a bit surprising to see the project’s core developers
in a sort of crisis mode while users worry about a tag that showed up in
the project’s repository.
