Not yet, but now that you mention the 2.0beta ... I've been testing the latest versions and checkung Issuezilla. From what I have seen so far(!) I am not really glad with OOo2.0 yet - and I am not the only one. See f.e. the article and the user comments to it: http://software.newsforge.com/software/05/02/25/209222.shtml?tid=93&tid=130 linked from the OOo main page. Note f.e.: - many people like Java in OOo at all (partly prejudices, partly true ...) - as seen from another user comment there are still several other shortcomings for the scientific user (like me) beside references, as. f.e. the "old" chart engine and formulae positioning in text. I know I am critical but from obivous improvements in the look, with table handling and the new file format there are other aspects like the customiziation dialog that have obviously been changed for the worse. Don't ask me why... Maybe they didn't have Martha for UI design. ;-) Hey, we can do better! Also some parts of OOo are still too buggy to be of any use - f.e. particularly the OOo Base application (LOTS of bug reports). I really understand that the Sun developers currently put all effort in fixing these obvious bugs instead of caring about new features. And I hope they will, despite all pressure, not release OOo2.0 too early - otherwise they will repel potential users with bugs! (OOo1.1.0 f.e. crashed far too often for my liking.) --- There has been a 1.9.77 SDK also, I think I will have a look at this, although I am not sure if this is already documented enough to be of any use for us to evaluate improvements, f.e. in the python or Java UNO bridges. I have not yet tried XForms in particular.
