Yes, I had a very big learning curve ten years ago. I've project managed / led development of some B2B sites for the past 11 years. I'm not bringing client side app writing chops to OOo, I'm bringing non-OOo document experience with PDF and MS Office. We generate such from our work websites. Creating and assembling content according to user's requests and producing PPT and PDF on the fly. We've also done some development with Excel Plug-ins that talk to our website and exchange data. I'm not afraid of it, but for this one we need to be very careful. >> So, we at AOOo would have to prove we have the community and procedures in >> place in order to get to this point. >> >> Whatever we might do starts on a private site, or in an approved Apache >> jail. >> And if so the choices are here, >> http://www.apache.org/dev/services.html#virtual-servers, correct? > > The solaris zone stuff is outdated.
