Is it ISO/IEC 29500 compliant ? ;-P

Most important change for mac users: OpenOffice.org 3.0 will be the first version to run on Mac OS X without X11, with the look and feel of any other Aqua application.

Yay to OOo without X11! Now only The Gimp is left on my wishlist to get really ported.

Sascha Reissner, 2008-05-08

I somehow knew Chris was going to ask that? ;-)

Would be interesting to know IBM's plans for Symphony... Will they port OOo2 or go straight to OOo3? I hope the latter...

Totally awesome! Stops shortcut-brain-switching-sickness on the spot.

@Sascha: Gimp is in the works, also. Already available as a native Beta, if you mind looking.

@Roland: Help me out. I hope that you don't want to point me towards Seashore as a The Gimp replacement with a native UI. Seashore only provides the most basic manipulation possibilities.

Hi, Sascha. Take a look here:

Maybe you need to run the binary inside the package to make it start up.
