| <p class="Stil12">For <strong>users</strong>, <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">OpenOffice.org</a> is |
| the world's leading open-source office productivity suite. It |
| has been <a href="http://download.openoffice.org/index.html">downloaded</a> more than <strong>100 million times</strong> to |
| date and reaches a broad audience across fields of applications, |
| languages, and cultures.</p> |
| <p class="Stil12">For <strong>developers</strong>, OpenOffice.org |
| is much more than that. OpenOffice.org provides a complete, open |
| and free development platform that provides cross-platform compatibility |
| and great extensibility.</p> |
| <p class="Stil12">With more than 7 million lines of code, 28 single |
| <a href="http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html#components">projects</a>, 100 localized <a href="http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html#languages">languages</a>, and around 1,000 <a href="http://contributing.openoffice.org/">contributors</a>, |

| API is designed to bind to several languages including Java, |
| Python, C++, and Javascript allowing developers to interact with |
| and extend the use of the office suite.</p> |
| <p class="Stil12">Use web services to connect to the internet, use |
| COM and OLE to connect to other applications on the system, or |
| access system resources directly through CLI.</p> |
