Please! OpenOffice.org 3.0 in Intrepid!

[Exsecrabilus]

This will take some time, but hey, we got 20 days. (Just kidding, I know it's not easy work, there's like 100 packages in Ubuntu splitted into sections of OpenOffice.org)

Even though no formal announcement has been made, the servers have it already:

Click on any server. Then click Stable. Then click 3.0.0. Download!

[Ronan Jouchet (ronj)]

That's the goal for Intrepid, and it's always been. As you say it, this is no easy work. Let's just let the packagers do their best :)

I don't know if the goal is to include oo.o 3.0 in the final release of intrepid
i don't see it here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta

however, keep in mind that, even if it doesn't make it (in my opinion, quite likely, since this is a major change, and we're past the beta freeze), it doesn't mean you'll have to wait for 9.04 to get oo.o 3, it will probably come in as one of the updates in intrepid...

[plun (plun)]

To not include OO 3.0 would be a terrible strategic mistake and also misses the goal for
Ubuntus bug No 1

So please include OO 3.0 and roll it out for test as soon as possible.

Not In Progress.

openoffice.org 3 was released today!

[Gina (ginalinux)]

I agree with plun - I also think OO 3.0 should be included in Intrepid
