They have made really a lot of improvements and everyone will benefit of it.

I know that you would have to create a packet yourself and can't just import from debian, but I would really appreciate your work.

Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" is expected to be released in October 2008.

Seems we wont get OpenOffice.org 3.0 in Ibex. :(
But I hope we will...
... or at least backports...]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:12:14 +0000 http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease30]]> Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:46:34 +0000 Ibex will be more "experimental", so it should be no problem to include OOo 3.0, ecen when it's beta.
BTW, in Sept. it will probably be even a Release candidate...

You've obviously never had a word processor CRASH at the very moment you hit the SAVE button, destroying not only the contents of memory, but also the file on disk, leaving you to rewrite the first 10 pages of your 30 page senior university thesis.

I have. KOffice did it to me. Open Office should ONLY be upgraded to 3.0 if 3.0 is stable. Office/work apps should not be unstable, period.

I'm sure if 3.0 is stable by the time II is released, it will be included. If not, it can be offered as a backport later.]]> Thu, 17 Jul 2008 20:17:16 +0000

Reasons are:
- Increased productivity
- Support for new Micro$oft document formats
- Better print support
- Better pdf generation]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:03:25 +0000
Lattera. Thats different. The LTS release is meant to offer support over 3 years. And they couldn't support Firefox 2.0 for 3 years. LTS doesn't stable on release, it just means that it will be supported longer (and more stable over the long run).


None of us can make any assessments of openoffice 3 yet
