Heh ain't that the truth, however IBM and Novell are so buddy buddy these days that it's hard to tell the difference. So the question is : When "IBM Workplace " turns from vapour to reality will it turn up in SuSE 10 or whatever comes next? And then when that happens will it be suddenly discovered how much code that Novell developers have been feeding into Workplace rather than into OOo.
hmm. actually, i've heard rumours that novell has done many improvements to oo.org during their own migration (even automatic vba macro import and export was mentioned =) ), but none of these big changes made it back into oo.org.
i would be glad if somebody could authoritatively deny these rumours :)
maybe somebody could clarify about novell's involvement in the development of oo.org ? i really like direction novell is going lately and try to support them, but in that case i want to know that there is no "secret evil plan" going on =)
Just my conspiracy theory for this week! ;)...
