Perhaps our OOo developers could tell us what the consequences for the OpenOffice suite as a whole would be if it were to be made truly modular, i e, if the user could choose to install just Writer or Calc or whatever, according to his or her needs. Would this necessarily involve many reduplications, leading to product bloat, or could this be avoided ? If the latter, perhaps this type of flexibility to users' needs is the way to go ?... Henri
