Hi Nathan, Thanks for the details.
I feel I will be more capable of updating the existing OpenOffice.org plugin. I already have some OOo development and localization experience and OOo has be my office suite for sometime. So I'll look into the links you have provided and come up with a draft proposal, so that we can continue from there. I feel with a draft proposal we will be able to shape up our ideas more. Is there anyone else already expressed interest for this project idea?
