        Well - that's not really so, we have:

        * a different, flattened code-base
                + [ yes we have some legacy patches still but they
                   are being slowly merged where appropriate ]
        * many more contributers - lots of new volunteers are doing
          great work every day, and more arriving and making a
          difference
        * lots of translators, QA, and well-wishers from the
          old OO.o community
        * oh - and a brand that 'sucks less'(TM), and the new
          website you noticed ;-)

        how deeply are you looking ?

        Yes, but far more importantly, an extraordinary explosion in volunteer
developers - many of them new to the project: which is most exciting.

        Sure - RedHat is fully involved eg.

        We will include code from Oracle if it makes sense; of course - why
not, this is Free Softare right ? :-)

> When should LO 3.3 release?

        Well we're working towards a first release in the next handful of
weeks.

        HTH,

                Michael.
