Release history table seems unnecessary
The release history table seems excessively long - it takes up nearly half the total vertical height of the article, and it seems to violate WP:NOTCHANGELOG. I'm not sure what the best practices are for removing sections like that which is why I haven't done it myself, but I wanted to draw attention to it at least. 64.67.144.111 (talk) 22:10, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Lead paragraph
Modern reviews of office suites dismiss LibreOffice for only supporting Windows, macOS and Linux; Because other office suites support mobile and online as well. Reviews seem to go out of their way to state this [https://redresscompliance.com/microsoft-365-vs-libreoffice-a-balanced-guide/ (here is yet another review...)], Reddit users who appear genuine also say this. I believe the lead paragraph for LibreOffice needs a refresh because WikiPedia readers are being misinformed when skimming the article as well.
Solution: Update the lead paragraph to say something similar to:
- LibreOffice (/ˈliːbrə/) is a free and open-source office suite that runs on desktops; Online solutions for the web, apps for tablets, smartphones and Chromebooks are provided by ecosystem partners utilising LibreOffice Technology. LibreOffice is a product of The Document Foundation (TDF), forked in 2010 from OpenOffice.org, an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice.
Considerations:
- Most people know what applications are in an office suite nowadays.
- When hovering a pointer over the word "LibreOffice" the lead paragraph is displayed, or as much as will fit, something similar occurs with web search results, and AI too.
- The rest of the current 1st paragraph could be moved into a new paragraph or another section, such as History.
- Similar lead paragraph modernisation would benefit the 3 Wikipedia articles for Writer, Calc and Draw.
