When somebody writes the code. (And offers it for inclusion under the license(s) we use.) > NeoOffice already supports these features in NeoOffice 3.2.1 Beta. Which probably means that many volunteer developers who might have the required skills and hardware have little interest in working on these features as it would be duplication of work because of licensing differences. Duplicating work just because of licensing is not fun. At least that is how I feel... (NeoOffice is GPL, LibreOffice is LGPL, and new LibreOffice code is also MPL.) I did some inital experimentation with full-screen mode, and indeed, supporting that to some extent is trivial. But exactly how Lion full-screen mode should interact with/supplement/replace the traditional OOo/LO full-screen mode, if at all, would be something for the user experience experts to work on. Versioning, Auto-Save, Resume etc would require quite a lot of work, I think. The OOo/LO code does not use the NSDocument class at all, for instance. (In general, the OOo/LO MacOSX code is rather old-fashioned in its use of MacOSX APIs.) --tml -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
