Hi Wolf, Welcome to the project.
What kind of security work do you do? One thing we have not discussed on this list, is security. As we all know, Microsoft Office has been a vector for security exploits for many years, with macro viruses, etc. They presence of mobile code in the form of macros, embedded in documents that are mailed around, combined with the ubiquity of MS Office, this makes it an attractive target. If we're successful with Apache OpenOffice, and it grows to have a much larger market share, then it is reasonable to expect that it will also become attractive to crackers. We should be planning for this, and make such enhancements in OO that will help users (and corporate IT departments) manage these risks.
