Myself, I'd love to see a stand-alone OOo Writer that'd both run quicker and use less memory, especially in older Macs. The closest Macs have to such is the moribund AbiWord, which did a fair job handling OOo docs before it went belly-up. I hope OOo code is open source enough to allow an enterprising guy to take a whack at a stand-alone OOo Writer.

Before OO.o I was an ardent Abiword supporter and user. I wondered why you describe it as being "belly up". I went to the web site and read up on it. The company that had been supporting the research chose to stop, but the developers continue working. There is a current version of Abiword, 2.8.4. I just fetched and installed it.

2.8.4 is not available for Macs.


Maybe not enough of people help Hubert ...



The last version available for Macs is 2.4.5 from Aug. 2006. That definitely qualifies as moribund as far as Mac users are concerned.
