Terry, you may have private info from Clayton that I don't have, but my understanding from conversations with him is that he never had any intention of remaining with the Apache OOo project beyond helping a bit with the handover process. In fact, I'm fairly sure he said this in a note to this list some weeks ago, but I haven't the energy to try to track it down in the archives. --Jean
