This is a good and unexpected news for the Mac community. Sun, the main contributor to Open Office.org, decided to allocate 2 of its engineers to help OpenOffice.org for porting the Suite to Aqua. Sun and Community developers will work together to speed up the Mac OS X port which was already near alpha version. It seems that Apple hardware becoming more popular than in the past, Sun decided it was worse investing time and energy in supporting native Mac OS X port of open Office.
For the interested people, a special IRC meeting will be organized on Friday 4th of May (see
Mac port IRC meetings).
