www.linuxidentity.com is looking for someone to write a short howto for installing OOo onto Windows, Linux, and Mac. I had a long conversation with them and as follows:

Regarding the Mac version:

I don't know if it is taboo here too, but for Mac, I suggest that a quick reference to NeoOffice is made for Mac users who need to use OSX character input systems out of the box (like Japanese/Chinese): it is not trivial at all for a normal user to install an X11 input system.

Also, users should be aware that the new Mac native version (without X11 dependency) is being _very_ actively developed and that a pre- alpha test build is available from the official OOo download page. It still contains a few glitches but I work with it everyday and I've not found any major instability issues yet.
