OpenOffice.org 3.0 is 167 days away, but who's counting? Maybe the software developers are counting because they have a whopping 2,278 issues targeted for this release. Even though OpenOffice.org 2.4 is not yet out the door, let's see how far they've come with OpenOffice.org 3.0.
New features
- Personal Information Manager (PIM), probably based on Thunderbird/Lightning

- Web 2.0 support for weblogs and wikis
- Office 2007 OOXML document import filter
- Support for Mac OS X Aqua platform
- Redesigned, more modern GUI.
