| <h1>OpenOffice.org Specification Project</h1> |
| |
| |
| <p>The goal of the OpenOffice.org |
| |
| Specification project is to have a home for specifications which are |
| |
| related to OpenOffice.org. These can be User Interface specifications |
| |
| or Technical specifications. The table below lists the areas for which |
| |
| specifications are written.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p><b>Note: </b>For detailed information about this project please continue reading on the <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Specification">Specification Project Wiki</a> page.</p> |

You can also create a specification based on the <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Specification_Template"><strong>wiki template</strong></a>. </p> |
