Currently, OOo is dead on arrival on the academician's desktop because it lacks EndNote-like capabilities. OOo supplies 90% of what the academician needs, but the last 10% afforded by a real reference manager is critical to allowing a switch to Linux/Open Office. The current reference managing capabilities of OOo are in no way comparable to those of EndNote and are not adequate to get an academican through the day. I anxiously await the day when OOo itself, or, perhaps CodeWeavers, produces a real reference manager.
