| One Million </h4> |
| <p>Sometime last week, we passed one million downloads, and at our current rate |
| we will serve more binary and source files in the next <i>month</i> than in |
| the previous six. Community activity has been similarly high, with Kevin Hendricks's |
| newly announced "<a href="http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/">Lingucomponent |
| Project</a>" (which works on the spellchecker, dictionary, and so on) and |
| the new "<a href="http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/screenshots/">Screenshots |
| Project</a>," maintained by Martijn Dekkers and Matt Freeman. For users |
| interested in getting the code on CD-ROM, we now have several companies and |
| individuals, both in the U. S. and Europe, offering very inexpensive <a href="../dev_docs/source/download.html#cdrom">CD-ROMs</a>. |
| What is more, OpenOffice.org continues its tradition of being fully international |
| and available to the world community, with the binaries available in an increasing |
| number of languages. OpenOffice.org code is not just usable, it is being used. |
