I've also taken a look at OOo, albeit in the context of supporting openqm as opposed to U2. There's lots of potential there for ANY MV database.
I even dug down to see what might be involved in getting openqm recognized as a datasource. At that time, all the database specs were SQL oriented. But if the OpenOffice folks have open minds (sorry, couldn't resist), we'd be smart to jump on this opportunity. My $.02. Headed over there to vote now.
