Hi Eric, I am the marketing project coordinator for OpenOffice.org Japanese Language Project, which has promoted OpenOffice.org in a number of ways in Japan and increased user base, individual users, business users, local government users in Japan. They are using OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 now. They are waiting for 3.4.0.
I take accountability. I have to tell them about the new release and what happened to OpenOffice.org. That's why I needed an answer to the question about the new release. Greg Stein is a great Apache committer, I believe. http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html As I read his posts to this list, I trust him. Greg said, "I would be surprised if a release is made this year." This is a clear message. I trust his word. It means "It will not happen soon," and "We don't know when it will happen." Good to have the answer because I can answer my colleagues and users. :) Thanks, khirano
