Perhaps...

However two main points:

1. It is generally advisable to keep and maintain the current version of
Ubuntu OOo in both 8.04 and 8.10 as those versions will: 1) continue to
receive standard and security updates, and 2) they are versions that use
gstreamer for media support. Have you ever had to deal with jmf in
standard OOo?

2. OOo 3.0 can easily be downloaded and installed in 8.04 or 8.10
without any distruption or interference to an existing (U)OOo install.
Advocating that people install from a ppa that will overwrite their
existing (U)OOo installations is, IMO, irresponsible.

Note: I have done both; installed standard OOo on 8.10 and the ppa
version suggested by this and others. The ppa version is no different
(other than the rebranded splash) than standard OOo 3.0 that I can tell,
and most certainly does not support sound via gstreamer (as UOoo does);
jmf _must_ be installed and added to the Class Path archives first.
