Mac OpenOffice.org Moving To Cocoa

On Friday, Philipp Lohmann reported on the progress being made in moving the Mac port of OpenOffice.org to the Cocoa framework.

Sun has moved aggressively in its efforts to support OOo on the Mac, and we’re already seeing great progress after just a few months.

Lohmann agrees, but also cautions that this is still a small step: “So the Mac port continues to thrive, but even with all we have already there is much yet to do. Any developer willing and able to help OpenOffice.org is welcome (please find build instructions here), Sun even offers a job in this area for people willing to work in Hamburg.”

    While I appreciate the renewed but late effort, they still have a way to go to meet capability of the other OOo to Mac project – NeoOffice. I hope the two can collaborate and get a better Mac version up and running. Till then NeoOffice is my reccomendation for the Mac.
