Cool. We had, fwiw, also discussed it on releases@ several years ago.

Yes; does #2 encompass the creation of for-profit add ons or extensions? There are lots of those, i'd imagine. You know, companies that create, now, things that extend MSO but are interested in the Linux market; or want to sell to the OOo/SO market. > >In February I put together a draft wizard for 2.
