I am not a mac specialist, but I just read the
http://www.openoffice.org/porting
<http://www.openoffice.org/porting/mac/>page, title is
"third part ports and distributions".

So my first question is
- what does a MAC page have to do here. MAC is a supported platform, not
third party ?
- why does the porting page not have a link to the mac page ?

This of course has less to do with the content of the page, but I dont like
signalling the mac is a third party port.
