Here are the links to our "OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X How-To" on top of this site. 		Our thank goes to Eric Bachard for providing the French How-to, to Loic Geslin for the english translation, 		Uwe Altmann for the german translation and everybody else involved. 		If you want to help us please 		translate the How-to to your native language. Contact us on this on 		mac at porting dot openoffice dot org . Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:30:41 GMT http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/index.html#1 http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/index.html April 2006 There has been some confusion about the relationship between OpenOffice.org 		and NeoOffice and we would like to clear things up. 		Our focus is and must be porting OpenOffice.org to the Mac. In the last 		year, we have been very successful in getting 2.0 to the Mac OS (X11) and 		our team now includes many. We are further taking the port to Mac Intel, and 		beta builds are running of this. These are real and important 		accomplishments, and they could not have been done without the support of 		the community. Our ultimate goal is to fully port OpenOffice.org to Mac OS X 		on Aqua. For that, we need all the help the Mac community can provide. 		Direct links to NeoOffice were removed because our focus is on 		OpenOffice.org, not NeoOffice, which is a derivation based substantially 		(more than 98 percent) on OpenOffice.org code. If the OpenOffice.org coding 		effort is to be successful, we need for users to work directly with us. 		We have no argument with NeOffice and wish them the best in their efforts. 		Their approach differs from ours but satisfies many users. We invite them to 		work with us in building OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 and beyond and in fully 		porting OpenOffice.org to the Mac. We are also open to the idea of 		collaborating: exchanging ideas and code (when possible) in a useful, 		friendly, and productive way. 		We hope this clears up some of the misunderstandings. Again, we invite 		friendly collaboration and cooperation and would like for the Mac community 		to help us port OpenOffice.org to Aqua.

One 		for Tino Rachui and one for Stephan Schaefer. These very fast machines 		will replace old G3's, which were good but slow machines.

Stephan Schaefer, Florian Heckl and Tino Rachui have made 		svdem work. Svdem is the toy dedicated to experimentations in vcl. 		The objectvies is to progressively implement everything for 		Carbon/Cocoa port.

In order to get them follow 		the link to non-qa'ed builds on our download site Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:30:41 GMT http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html# http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html Late January, 2006 OpenOffice.org announced the first build of 		OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 for Mac OS X (X11) that can run natively on the 		newly released Macintosh Intel desktops. No other fully equipped office 		suite can claim as much, and ours gives users not just standards 		compliance but real interoperability. Led by Eric Bachard, the 		team includes Eric Hoch, NAKATA Maho, Tino Rachui, Sophie Gautier, 		Pavel Janik, David Nedrow, James Mckenzie, Filip Molcan, "Mox", 		and many, many others. The group, which created this version in very 		little time indeed, is now eager to move even faster--with your help. 		Download the build, test it, participate. We are way ahead of the 		Redmond folks, let's keep it that way! 		The builds provided for Intel based Macs are alpha and thus risky. 		They only run on Mac-Intel boxes.
