Hi Franz, Sorry for the late response.... Comments inline.

For instance, would content be created on the "spreadopenoffice" site? Under what license? And, what if the site were to go down or you were to be unable to maintain it? These are important but not insurmountable points that need to be addressed. (Other points also come to mind.) > >But before I start creating the page and the skin and before I'd mull >over the details, I must know if you're advocating the project.. Thanks for posting and thanks for asking! And thanks, too, for taking a lead here. Again, I regret my lack of earlier response (well, it was only a few hours ago that you posted). I'd like, however, to ask the MP leads their views on the suggesting guidelines for such a project and to answer the questions I raised. After all, this site would be representing OOo. > >If we would work in a body, I'm sure the page could be released >together with OOo 2.0. Of course. > >greetz, >Frando Thanks!
