I've built it on Gentoo, when I still had Gentoo that is. Long and

Hi Oleg,
You are not misreading my email. OOo is an immense product with thousands
of packages and a high rate of change. The redesign that you suggest is
happening all of the time, it's just a huge project and it will take a
long time.
Anyone who understands what it means to work on the developme
Hi Tzafrir,
Tk Open Systems has been building OOo from source for the past year and
three months. We have two very talented two engineers, Alan Yaniger and
Oleg Reebakov working a total of about 300 hours per month, mainly on
build issues for the four platforms we do. This is not a small expense.

Hi Uri,
The problem with public participation in the Hebrew OOo effort is the high
cost of maintaining knowledge of how to build OOo. OOo does not build
out-of-the-box like Apache or Squid. You have to set up a complex
development environment. Just learning how to build OOo takes about six
months f
