Hi, I have found out this sentence on README files "since the LibreOfficeDev source code was released back in October 2000" Actually, as everybody knows it is not correct. I think, instead of $(PRODUCTNAME), we must use "OpenOffice.org" on. Because OpenOffice.org (https://www.openoffice.org/about_us/milestones.html) was released as an open source software by Sun in that time.

@Sophi, what do you think about this ?
This par of the README file is about contributing to the project. Whole paragraph is: ------------------------------------------ The best way to start contributing is to subscribe to one or more of the mailing lists, lurk for a while, and gradually use the mail archives to familiarize yourself with many of the topics covered since the ${PRODUCTNAME} source code was released back in October 2000. When you're comfortable, all you need to do is send an email self-introduction and jump right in. If you are familiar with Open Source Projects, check out our To-Dos list and see if there is anything you would like to help with at <a href="https://www.libreoffice.org/community/developers/">the LibreOffice website</a>. -------------------------------------------- We do no want to explain the whole history of the project at this moment, it would not help the user to jump in to help the project, it's more simple to say ${PRODUCTNAME} and less confusing. Maybe the whole text could be simplified and more attractive, but it's not misleading as it is. And if the reader follow the text, he will find https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/libreoffice-timeline/ anyway :) so my conclusion is WFM - Sophie
Hi sophie, thanks for the clarification. Closing as RESOLVED WONTFIX
