Gentlemen, Thank you for all your replies.
I'd be interested in helping with OpenOffice, but I'm also now using LibreOffice, which I'm liking a lot: It's a lot smoother with using and converting Word/docx files. I've used OpenOffice for years, in parallel with Word, but I'm finally fed up with Word. I don't understand though: Are OpenOffice and LibreOffice run and written by you all? The same people? Or is there some politics involved? I'd like to help. I love the idea of an open source program/app. One of the IT guys at the school where I now teach said they were talking about switching to OpenOffice instead of using Microsoft: the big reason they didn't: many of the science classes still need Microsoft Excel. If you can get something equal to Excel, that would be a HUGE sell. I myself am a writer and just need word processing. Anyways, what is the deal between OpenOffice and LibreOffice?
