Hi list I have been tracking openoffice.org-2.0-devel for quite a while. Now, with ooo-build available for playing around with, I am considering giving it a try instead. Before doing that though, I would like to figure out how long-lived the whole ooo-build project will be. I have seen it mentioned on various developer blogs, so there currently seems to be some interest in it. But is this really just a toy project some people are fooling around with? Or maybe a testbed for a new and improved build environment? Or is this moving towards a genuine fork? It just seems hard to judge this brand-new port; I am interested in it, but a bit scared to run an app on my precious OpenOffice.org files that might make slightly incompatible changes to them... Does anyone (especially OO.o devs lurking around on this list I guess) have an opinion on this? Is someone using ooo-build already? Or considering switching? If so, why? Or why not? Lots of questions, I know, but maybe if some people answer them, those answers will guide future confused users as well. - Bartosz
