Well, there's a really interesting article about OO.o being totally
controlled by Sun here:
<http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyId=11&articleId=9037499&intsrc=hm_topic>
It explains a lot to me why questions I raised to the developers years ago
were not satisfactorily answered. I had not realized that Sun maintained
complete control of OO.o after splitting it from StarOffice.
