Presentation: OOo 3.0 And Beyond

OOo Presentation: OOo 3.0 And Beyond

The following presentation, from OopenOffice.org Conference 2007, talks about the future plans they have for OOo 3.0. One of the key factors is the inclusion of Mozilla Thunderbird as PIM (Personal Information Manager) with the office suite. Another one is the support for importing MS Office XML documents. I am not sure whether it is there already with 2.3, but in future release there is also a Web 2.0 integration. One thing for sure I would love to see is UI change, perhaps a little more slicker (both for Qt3/4 and Gtk) and more productive (somehow). The expected release is set for somewhere in Summer 2008.

Comment by Mr Frosti on October 16, 2007

I love the idea of OpenOffice, but it has never been practical to use over Microsoft Office. I hope that version 3.0 is a change in thinking from copying Microsoft Office, to going a different direction. Innovations that received praise in the past from OpenOffice users is its ability to export to PDF, and its word auto completions. These are not available in Microsoft Office, and these are selling points to new users.

Existing areas that need attention are load times, easier tools (including AA on charts and graphics), and true hardware acceleration for presentation effects. Hopefully all of this isn’t too much to ask…
