Hi :) I edited the history section a little bit because there was just a weird little reference to Go-oo just giving up when LibreOffice appeared but my recollection is that Go-oo was a major fork of OpenOffice and was widely used by pretty much all the main popular distros. And it didn't just give up!! Didn't it merge with LibreOffice? Wasnt it one of the initial major boosts to TDF that resulted in quite a few more people and a lot of improved code? Also wasn't it a major factor in LibreOffice getting accepted into a lot of the most popular distros that had mostly been using Go-oo for years anyway but just calling it OpenOffice?
I didn't know a good way to cram that all in to such a tiny space. Also the weird little statement about some effort being made to remove some java dependancies also totally underplayed what has gone on so i tried to add in other initial aims of TDF but i wasn't really aware of what you guys & ladies were aiming for that far back. Obviously although there are a lot of the initial aims that have already been achieved (or well underway) there have been other aims&objectives that wouldn't really fit into the History section. Grrr, it's really tough trying to write dispassionately and i didn't have any good links either so if someone else could modify what i have done so far that would be really great!
