OpenOffice.org Platform Technology: Mac OS X -- Carbon Port with Aqua NWF

Currently the Mac OS X port OpenOffice.org requires an X11 server at runtime. This adds an additional burden to installation, and adds a huge footprint on startup performance. Further on it disables a native look and feel. Providing a port based on Carbon, using an Aqua Native Widget Framework will add tremendously to the acceptance of the Macintosh version and will be a highly visible and well received feature. The project is in need of developers, testers, qa, etc. Contact
