But let's face it there are already many OOo variants out there. I don't think that changes that much. I think Michael's point about which code contributions are effectively blocked to which developers is the more difficult one. Personally I know this is a mess but making it less of a mess through cooperation seems a better route than trying to achieve something unachievable. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications The Schools ITQ www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
