Hi Hichael, I am sorry, I have a hard time following your thoughts. Plus we are not a "great someone else does it" club. We are a "do it" club.
So if you want to join you are welcome. I have the feeling some of what you want we can already do. Unlike MicrosoftOffice you can use in OpenOffice, c++, Java or Python in their full glory. That leaves a lot more options to you, creating an extension (Addon) that can do things. Of course we ohave also basic like language on board.
