isn't this, uhm, quite an unrealistic expectation? This is not a
compiler or a web server we're talking about. An office suite is the
computer equivalent of pen and paper, something that one must use
these days, even if he or she hates computers and couldn't code to
save his life, and that requires zero competence in programming or
even system administration.

Making as many ordinary people **use** OOo and lobby/vote for OOo and
OpenDocument, OK, but "producing" (be it funding from their own
pockets, coding or writing documentation) Ooo? Come on. Or maybe you
were only thinking to corporations which decide to use Ooo?
