No development for native Mac OpenOffice |
Developers of OpenOffice.org are no longer pursuing a native Aqua/Mac OS X port of the open-source Office-compatible suite, according to eWEEK. The report says that it has been 18 months since the last work on the native Mac version and that are no plans to do so with the upcoming Version 2.0. PointerClick here to read more about Version 2.0 of OpenOffice.org. The current release, known as OpenOffice.org/X11 Mac, runs in the X11 graphical windowing system, which looks and acts more like the Linux and Unix software than a Mac program....Edward Peterlin, one of only a handful of volunteer developers for OpenOffice.org/X11 Mac, attributes the lack of a native OS X effort partly to a lack of resources."
