Why don't all the OOo devs just come to TDF? I mean isn't this further splitting up the community? What I want to see is a single powerful office suite to kill Microsoft. I want to see them buried. I want to see a free, open product that is perfect in it's seamlessness, transparency and ease of use. I hope LO is the one to do it. We need to kick some ass!
