Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 2 news clippings of interest

Hi :)
What may be trivial to one person is a big deal to another.  Even just 'trivial' changes have 
involved reading, understand, possibly translating and then re-typing stuff that is waaaay beyond 
the ken of most of us.  

A major part of the code clean-up has been taking out comments some of which are still there even 
though the code they were commenting about may have been dropped a decade ago.  The download size 
of LibreOffice is under 70% the size it was when the projects forked.  Smaller, lighter, faster 
might be trivial to some but many of us really appreciate the reduction in size and increase in 
speed.  

Regards from 
Tom :)
