Have a look at www.openoffice.org ... If you follow the appropriate
links you will find
that recent (approved) builds are available from a number of retailers
in the northern
hemisphere *AT COST* . I dealt with SMB (I think it is) in the UK who
sent me a copy of Build 641b. The latest is 641c and the global
developer community has voted that the next release
will be designated 1.0 ...
One thing they are going for is increased language internationalisation
and a group of OpenOffice enthusiasts in Hungary a week or two ago
marshalled 2-300 language and IT people at (I think) Budapest University
to almost completely translate OpenOffice into Hungarian *in three
days*. As the website noted, it shows you what can be done if the will
is there.
Cheers,
Adam Bogacki.

P.S. I would recommend getting hold of a copy while this window of
opportunity exists. I have
read elsewhere that SUN plans to evolve to more commercial model in the
near future.
