To be fair (or to play a demon's advocate), this is not yet a complete
release of the product. I believe it is on feature freeze though (I would
assume that the product's state propagates onto /all/ of its constituent
components). Maybe we shall need those other SourceForge projects _after
all_. The issue is: Jow Average will most likely not tinker with 'out of the
box' Office, let alone /download/ any plugins. PDF and ODF will remain a
selling point for OOo 2+.
Best wishes,
Roy
