You know it is starting to appear that we need to setup a page with links to applications implemented in, or with, Base.

Hi [email protected], I have a site at www.baseusers.com which James Elliott from Australia and I were going to do something good with about a year or more ago and we haven't really done anything with it as you can see, but I would be willing to list every application that wants to be listed that is associated with Base. Even if the application is listed on the wiki or on OOO's main site, another point of exposure could be a good thing. If there was a small application like a personal information manager that people could download and use immediately, the user base would grow. I do not know why a person would rather pay for Word over Writer, but I can see why people would rather use Access than Base. I give out OOO disks like candy and I think that when people can actually use Base for something, it will prove Base is a serious application. Anyway, if anybody wants their application listed, send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will promote it all I can.
