The important point is that it is no longer "OOo plus patches", it is an actively maintained project in its own right. All of the patches are now being aggressively merged into the code base (seeing as it is no longer constrained by the Sun/Oracle copyright assignment policy). They are also keen to attract developers (my name is slowly climbing up the stats of people committing changes). But pretty much all of the non-Oracle devs have jumped ship to the new project. And bear in mind that several companies (for example Novell) were expending significant resource maintaining an "OOo plus patches" program - they can now throw those resources at a proper Open Source project. It's *probable* that OpenOffice will fade into obscurity - eclipsed by the new fork. You can see the effort being thrown at it ... And while I can't be a champion for lilypond, I do read a lot of the messages on the list, even when they're outside my sphere of interest (database), so rest assured if I do see anything that I think would affect lilypond, I'll but in and mention it. That said, if you're interested in lilypond integration, go along to the website (www.libreoffice.org will redirect you), join the mailing list, and do something about it ... :-) Cheers, Wol (an unemployed NoSQL database programmer looking for a job :-) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: OooLilyPond problem
There has been a significant fork which may affect this particular Lilypond project. Many/possibly most of the OOo developers quit the OOo project and have started LibreOffice in protest against the parent company that was paying for OOo development. I don't know the details but they are out there on the interwebs. LibreOffice is also at 3.3.0 beta and does not seem significantly different in any way. For Macs, there is also NeoOffice which is based on OOo, but has various patches applied to use native Mac features. IME OOoLilyPond is very problematic with NeoOffice, although I no longer remember the issues or details. On Nov 12, 2010, at 12:36 PM, Nick Payne wrote: AFAIK OpenOffice 3.3 is still beta.

I will release the next version in one or two weeks. regards, Samuel ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
