Re: Why so many??

KOffice has far more volunteer coders than openoffice. What will happen if Sun stops funding openoffice? How many paid developers are required just to maintain it?

KOffice, with a clean and lean code base could save the day in that situation. just look what happened to KHTML x Mozilla.

Volunteers

I think OOo lacks volunteers because Sun demands to own the copyright for all submissions, but they do have people like Sun, IBM and Novell paying a decent sized staff to work on OOo.
