Hmmm... no showstoppers (yet), but:

<http://www.openoffice.org/issues/buglist.cgi?resort=1&Submit%20query=Submit%20query;issue_type=DEFECT;issue_type=ENHANCEMENT;issue_type=FEATURE;issue_type=PATCH;issue_status=UNCONFIRMED;issue_status=NEW;issue_status=STARTED;issue_status=REOPENED;issue_status=RESOLVED;target_milestone=OOo%203.0.1;email1=;emailtype1=exact;emailassigned_to1=1;email2=;emailtype2=exact;emailreporter2=1;issueidtype=include;issue_id=;changedin=;votes=;chfieldfrom=;chfieldto=&order=issues.issue_status>

is currently showing 42 issues (many fixed). If you'd like, please feel
free to install 3.0.1 (RC2 is being pushed out to the mirrors now) and
help test/troubleshoot. I'm sure that all help by regular users will be
much appreciated by the dev folks :-)
