ubiquity advertises OpenOffice.org, but Natty provides LibreOffice instead

[Eliah Kagan]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Ubiquity 2.5.11 (running from today's daily Natty Desktop i386 Install CD, which has md5sum e8106eddd8f76212ea6861511d1e4586) advertises Ubuntu's ability to create and edit office (for example, word processing) documents with OpenOffice.org. The attached screenshot shows this. However, starting in Natty, Ubuntu provides LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice.org, rendering this obsolete and also confusing to users who will expect OpenOffice.org to be included in their system after being shown it by the installer.

In Natty, Ubiquity should advertise Ubuntu's office document creation and editing abilities as being due to LibreOffice, instead of OpenOffice.org.

In previous releases, many if not most users installing Ubuntu were already familiar with OpenOffice.org. But it seems quite likely that many users will be unfamiliar with LibreOffice when they install Natty, which means that is especially important (or at least would be especially useful) for Ubiquity to show it.
