Hello, I am just a user like yourself... This is the users' mailing list. Please _only_ reply to the list. Since OpenOffice.org is multi-platform, multi-lingual and free source, the announcement of a new version typically doesn't cover immediately all versions and languages. If you want to help the Mac version to come out at the same time as the Windows or Linux versions, you're welcome to join or assist the Mac porting team in any way you can. The version I use (Dutch on Mac) hardly ever gets an official stable release because unfortunately there aren't enough people to test it... -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo SRC 680 m241 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
