OpenOffice.org into the water

I just read an announcement on OSNews.com linking to an article telling us that the OpenOffice.org team has decided to develope a port of their great office suite for Apple Mac OS X.
This is great news, now Macintosh users finally have a good alternative to Microsoft Office for the Mac and AppleWorks.
NeoOffice.org already took a shot at this goal with NeoOffice/J based on the old OpenOffice.org 1.x series, but seeing the OpenOffice.org developers giving a shot at it, is a bright perspective. If I understood it correctly it will look like the average ordinary Aqua application, which is a real improvement compared to NeoOffice/J which was only partially Aqua style.

Keep up the good work OOo.
