Hi, Just to make my intentions clear: since I am not a C or C++ coder, I find it hard to contribute to OOo without gaining deeper knowledge about these Languages.
Creating the C# port is my way of getting to know the original code and the mindset behind it. I hope you agree that this is a not a bad way of un-learning all .NET assumptions.

First, the language is a more or less proprietary imitation of java, which is available on all platforms and, to boot, open source. Second, the performance and design of java seems of higher quality. Lastly, this is a list for OpenOffice.org. Use of java has no negative effects, and maybe even some positive effects, on the marketshare of openoffice.org and its new default format, OpenDocument. In contrast, the java imitation, in addition to the technical defects, helps create a market positioned to lock out OOo and ODF as well as any other tools or formats not controlled in Redmond. Think before you code. We're seeing astroturfers (of which the original poster may not be) on other forums peddling that product. Java is generally the answer.
