I found the link via the October Mac-porting list archives on the OO

Look at the second link I put up.

Sun has apparently either PPC Macs as one of their main builds, so OO  
is now a community build item, or simly not gotten around to it yet  
(note the disclaimer, not all platforms and languages yet)

I found that link through the OO porting forums.

Of course, you can dl the source to the final one and build it  
yourselfthe last time I looked into that (admittedly quite a while  
ago) the compile would have taken about a week on a machine like I had.

Who knows. NeoOffice is promising the 3.0 version soon. I don't know  
how much the NeoOffice code diverges from the now native OS X OO code.

The versions on that page are release candidates, of which the latest  
"3.0.0rc4" has a creation date of Oct.7th. If you use the "Parent  
Directory" link to go back one level, there is a version called  
"Dev_OOO300_m10" which is dated Oct.20th, which is today, and two  
weeks newer than the final release candidate, and newer than the  
equivalent Intel version, which may mean it's slated to be the final  
3.0.0 version for PPC?

Slapped the PPC version on a 450 G4 x2 10.4.11 1G RAM
It seems to be a bit faster than NeoOffice 2.2.3.
No X11 nonsense.

Bruce

I have been following Open Office 3 for the Mac since Alpha and I have been 
very impressed with it.

Much better than MS Office (being free is always a good thing) and much 
faster than NeoOffice.

For anyone looking for a fast lightweight word processor take a look at 
AbiWord and Bean.

Humm. For PPC Macs it says no version 3.0 available, but rather 2.4.1.  
I imagine PPC is getting the heave ho? I'm using NeoOffice v.2.2.5, so  
it would appear to still be an update. I assume on the Intel side,  
OpenOffice will take over from NeoOffice and NeoOffice will wither-on-
