How hard is that? (about their complaining below)
The more I read through OpenOffice.org stuff, the less I think we should
be using it. I don't think they believe in any of the stuff we do, and
they seem to be really out of touch with reality. OOo is going to fall
apart trying to be enterprise software long before the database might.
WhoTF does enterprise work in an Office Suite? (Same guys that I hear
talking about being programmers on the subway platform, as they describe
the little Excel macro they made with the Office Wizard.)
What's more, forking it doesn't appear to be an option. By their own
admission, much of the OOo code is a bloody nightmare people are afraid
to touch.
It may be time to look into other options.
