[$] Disunity at The Document Foundation

The Document Foundation(TDF) was created in 2010 to steward andsupport the development of the LibreOffice suite, which was then a new fork of OpenOffice.org. TDF hasclearly been successful; unlike OpenOffice,which is currently under the Apache umbrella, LibreOffice is an activelydeveloped and widely used project. But TDF has also been showing signs of stress in recentyears, and the situation does not appear to be getting better. There arecurrently some significant disagreements over just what role TDF shouldplay; if those cannot be resolved, there is a real chance that they couldrip the Foundation apart.
