I guess that's the goal of most of the Mac Porters here.

Well organisation is a bit of a weak point for Mac OS X porting. We (the European Mac Porter that have time and that I know) meet us during Linuxtag (6/22-25/2005) in Karlsruhe and have a little talk about Mac OS X Port and its future. So some news are to come by the end of June > If someone could point me in the right direction to familiarize > myself with the project and the tasks at hand (FAQs, relevant > listserve, etc), that would be great. First you should try to get familiar with the build process of OOo for X11 since this is the most current versions for both 1.1.x as current stable and 680/1.9.xxx as Milestonebuilds on the way to 2.0 later that year - propably July/August. Buildinstructions can be found here <http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/build_680_X11.html> for current 680. I'm planing an update to them since some things changed with the 10x+ milestones. Here <http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/build_11_X11.html> you find 1.1.x build instructions. Please take a look at the archives of this mailinglists. There are some current issues when building OOo under Tiger. It's recommanded to use gcc 3.3 for Tiger builds since nobody of the developers I know so far has been able to build OOo 1.1.x or 680 using gcc 4.0. So to keep up with the ongoing development heading to 2.0 we stick with gcc 3.3 under Tiger and Panther for OOo 680 and later 2.0. But gcc 4.0 isn't forgotten. You should also do a search in Issuezilla to find current open Issues for Mac OS X builds. Feel free to ask. A dumb question is the one not asked.
