hmmm - well, I'm just getting around to looking at things for this evening. Looking at the page(s) now... *chuckling*.. This might not be the right place for what I thought was the task - a list of existing known ports which are not part of the official AOO release regiment. The porting page and it's associated pages seem more about the act of creating a port, with http://www.openoffice.org/porting/porting_overview.html and http://www.openoffice.org/porting/porting_implement.html which starts off by pointing to this page: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Porting_Efforts and that offers links to places such as http://www.openoffice.org/udk/cpp/man/cpp_bridges.html So do we really want a page for listing existing non-official ports that are known, a simple information service for our users without and explicitly stating such, endorsing the work - or do we want a resource for those wanting to perform a port to a new platform - for the announcement(s) that is. //drew
