Seems rather odd doesn't it - particularly since the code is opensource & GPL [1] and has been available for quite some time? Then again, Gnome (my favorite BTW) has been supported by Sun since 2000 [2].

Status: Works well, the code is in ooo-build, but it is not ready for integration yet. note the dates. There also appear to be mailng lists for kde.openoffice.org (I've not looked at any of them): <http://kde.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList;jsessionid=383A9DAFE0718A6E715717079F79BD5D> so you might want to check those out as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
