Mise au point
There has been some confusion about the relationship between OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice and we would like to clear things up.Our focus is and must be porting OpenOffice.org to the Mac. In the last year, we have been very successful in getting 2.0 to the Mac OS (X11) and our team now includes many. We are further taking the port to Mac Intel, and beta builds are running of this. These are real and important accomplishments, and they could not have been done without the support of the community. Our ultimate goal is to fully port OpenOffice.org to Mac OS X on Aqua. For that, we need all the help the Mac community can provide.
Direct links to NeoOffice were removed because our focus is on OpenOffice.org, not NeoOffice, which is a derivation based substantially (more than 98 percent) on OpenOffice.org code. If the OpenOffice.org coding effort is to be successful, we need for users to work directly with us.
We have no argument with NeOffice and wish them the best in their efforts. Their approach differs from ours but satisfies many users. We invite them to work with us in building OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 and beyond and in fully porting OpenOffice.org to the Mac. We are also open to the idea of collaborating: exchanging ideas and code (when possible) in a useful, friendly, and productive way.
We hope this clears up some of the misunderstandings. Again, we invite friendly collaboration and cooperation and would like for the Mac community to help us port OpenOffice.org to Aqua.
