Hi André,

How do you get publicity by including a toolbar? It's all about money.

By having Google and/or Yahoo host a download page for OpenOffice.org as a

part of the "we'll include your toolbar" agreement.

In fact, why Google hasn't included OpenOffice.org as at least an optional part of the "Google Pack" for Windows (http://pack.google.com/ ) is beyond me. They have hired 2 full-time coders for the project, but don't promote

it anywhere - at least not anywhere visible enough for me to find it.

But if Google had a download page for OpenOffice.org (like they do for

Firefox - http://tools.google.com/firefox/toolbar/bundle/ ) then that would

mean more publicity for OpenOffice.org.  Not just money.

i can see google promoting OOo on Google Docs and Spreadsheet page:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=writely&passive=true&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2F&ltmpl=WR_tmp_2_lfty&nui=1&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-et-more&utm_medium=more

They would need to do someting about that URL thought :)

I also can see michael robertoson Ajax office do something about it:
http://us.ajax13.com/en/

And even some open source efforts out there like eyeOS.
