| <h4>Spotlight 18: On Multiusers</h4> |
| <p> |
| <p>OpenOffice.org is not jut a single-user product. It is a product that has been |
| designed to accommodate multiple users. On 2002 January 17, Dirk Voelzke of |
| the <a href="http://installation.openoffice.org/">Installation Project</a> <a href="//servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=213714&listName=discuss">proposed</a> |
| a change in the installation setup for the OpenOffice.org suite. The proposal, |
| which seeks to further enhance the suite's multi-user setup, has so far garnered |
| serious <a href="//servlets/BrowseList?listName=discuss&by=subject&from=60455">consideration</a> |
| from community members. Add your voice: <a href="mailto:users@openoffice.apache.org">post</a> a message on the topic to our discuss list. |
| <p>KDE and GNOME desktop integration: Early this week, Oliver Braun <a href="//servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=214915&listName=discuss">raised</a> |
| the important issue regarding OpenOffice.org's integration into the KDE and |
| GNOME desktops. At the moment, the suite does not come with a KDE or GNOME integration, |
| whereas StarOffice does. So: should OpenOffice.org emulate StarOffice's aesthetics |
| and structure or should it craft its own? The issue merits community attention, |
| as it relates not just to appearance but to the suite's independence. Please |
| visit the <a href="//servlets/BrowseList?listName=discuss&by=thread&from=5288">thread</a> |
| and express your views. |
