On the http://www.openoffice.org/product/reqts.html page, the X11 requirement needs to be explained.
It says "X-Server with 800 x 600 or higher resolution with 16.7 Million colour" - first of all, the term "X-server" needs to be explained, either there on the page, (it says X11 in one place and then X-Server in another - it should say X11 in both places), or with a link explaining what X11 is and how to get it. Because, I'll be honest with you, not many Mac users know what an X-Server or X11 is. Secondly, and this is nitpicky, the word "Color" is spelled without a U everywhere else on the page, and probably needs to be consistant on that page as well. And, finally, since we offer NeoOffice on the website, we should probably include the System Requirements for NeoOffice on this page as well. Thanks!
