@Erick, what is the likely hood of a complete Open Source office suite package which is locally created and distributed?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 6:12 PM, Erick Njenga <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:eriknjenga@gmail.com">eriknjenga@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

If we cant code, debug or document at least we can contribute by acknowledging where a suggested solution has worked for us.<br>

&gt; @Glenn, @Nd&#39;wex. Am in a kind of rush. Gentlemen, I think let&#39;s narrow this<br>
&gt; down. As passionate people of technology in your area of open source, what<br>
&gt; have you done or created to have made the source code and its applications<br>
&gt; of your projects more different to what you found or downloaded. When you<br>
&gt; changed the code aspects that made it more functional or adaptive, was this<br>
&gt; contribution made available to some library or repository? Kindly note<br>
&gt; that helpdesk support is being done by many many open source users out<br>
&gt; there. Thus, most can google the problems.<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to reiterate that contribution to an open source project is<br>
not limited to writing code:<br>
