Re: [xwiki-devs] Replacing mentions of OpenOffice

Hi everyone, I have been working with the application strings a fair bit lately when doing the German Translation for XWiki. While doing that I noticed a lot of the stuff says "OpenOffice". Now, this term is problematic, IMO. 1. "OpenOffice" is trademarked in the Netherlands and UK so the office suite opted for "OpenOffice.org", so if we were talking about this particular office suite, it should actually be "OpenOffice.org". 2. Since Sun was acquired by Oracle there was a major fork which created LibreOffice. The latter is going to be redistributed with Linux distributions such as Ubuntu. That means to say that using "OpenOffice" is kind of pointing to only one product, when more products are available. What I would like to discuss is if you would like to see a replacement of this very specific (and at least a little faulty) term and if so, what should it be? I thought about "Open Office" which is getting a little further away but I am really not happy with it either. "Open office suite" would be a little more generic and would include all OOo derivatives with the downside of including other potential open source office suites that got nothing to do with OOo at all (such as GNOME Office). Any comments on that?
