Also, the "$100 laptop" would also be a good
reason to try to make OOo more modular so that it is possible to install
only the components that will be used. e.g. install only Writer or only
Writer + Calc.
Why, that is possible today and has been possible ever since OOo 1.0.
But the OOo architecture is optimized for using multiple applications
from the suite. If installed and run together, large parts of the code
are shared between the applications. To support this, some parts of this
shared framework contain features that wouldn't be needed for a given
single application.
Thus a single OOo application has probably a bigger footprint than an
application that is really standalone. But when several OOo applications
are used together, the footprint should generally be less than that of
several standalone applications together.
Nevertheless there is ongoing work to make OOo more modular - not at the
application level, but on a feature level. The goal is, that code that
is needed only for a particular feature will be loaded and consume
resources only when that feature is used.
