Jaime I believe on previous posts on this thread or another one that TDF
is working on getting Google to support the ODF format. why create
something that has already been done by Google?

As I said before, Cloud based Office Suites are becoming more mature, I
think LO should start developing an HTML5 browser based office and ideally
integrate it with Zimbra!
It would be great to install LO locally and be able to share it through the
web to others from your computer without any further installation necessary.
Enterprises could make only one installation on a huge server and anyone
could use it directly from the browser, and Cloud companies like Amazon
could just upload an image and make it available for all their customers.
Cheers!

Zimbra is exactly what would push LO to be a serious threat to Microsoft
Office. Isn't that what the goal is of this project to slowly eat away at
Microsoft's majority market share?

Whats really held OOo and will hold LO back is the lack of an equivalent

Well, I disagree, but there is no way to prove one of us is right, so...
There are one of three ways it can be done.
1) fork something like evolution which has all that done and integrate
it
into the LO suite
Evolution is extremely buggy, *especially* on Windows, but yes, even on
*nix... Yes, there are many people who run it without problems, but
there are far more who complain of constant crashes and bugs, even on
the stablest of systems (otherwise)...
2) or install software that already exists in the open source arena.
Thunderbird+Lightning would be the best other choice here...not perfect
by any stretch, but the only viable FLOSS alternative on Windows at the
moment, at least that I am aware of...
the problem with 2 is that it will greatly increase the download size,
which
would pose issues for people with slow bandwidth.
Thunderbird+Lightning is not that big...
Might be worth considering collaborating with Zimbra:

I found this interesting:

The guy was using "SuSE build of OOo 3.2".
I generally use SeaMonkey, but I've been experimenting with Zimbra
Desktop lately& it seems to be an interesting alternative w/calendar,
Document, Briefcase, etc. And it's open source:

albeit with their own ZPL:

A tie-in with LibO& Zimbra would be about as close as MS Outlook/Office
(I'm not referring to Outlook Express) with a multiplatform environment.
