I was just thinking, wouldn't it be great if each tool of openoffice

extension of firefox and available as one of the tabs. Its like you
open the writer tab, impress tab, draw tab etc. When the user clicks
on the tab, all the toolbars change to match the tab selected.

Call me crazy, but when I want to surf the web, I open Firefox. When I
want to open a spreadsheet, I open oocalc2. I don't want to write
emails from OpenOffice - I use Thunderbird for that. I don't compose
music in The Gimp - I use Ardour for that. See the sense in this
approach?
Daniel, you're not crazy. You have posted some of the wisest comments I
have seen in this list in a long time.
About twenty years ago I was having lunch with a friend of mine. I
mentioned I was trying to write an application against which I could
play Cribbage (a card game). His question was "Why?" and his reasoning
was twofold: it had already been done (numerous times) and it was a
waste of my time since I had a family, a new job, etc.
I would heartily encourage any developers to donate their time to either
OOo or Mozilla, if they have cycles to spare. Both organizations could
use the help, as good as their applications already are.
