-Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software and the NeoOffice.org community are proud to introduce <b>NeoOffice®/J 1.1</b>, a Mac OS X-native version of the OpenOffice.org office suite that includes Microsoft™ Office-compatible word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing applications. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is available today as a free download from the Planamesa Software website, http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/.+FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
-<b>A Real Macintosh Application</b>+==== Introducing NeoOffice®/J 1.1 ====
 +Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software and the NeoOffice.org community are proud to introduce <b>NeoOffice®/J 1.1</b>, a Mac OS X-native version of the OpenOffice.org office suite that includes Microsoft Office-compatible word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and drawing applications.
-Based on the latest stable OpenOffice.org codebase, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offers extensive integration with Mac OS X. Key Macintosh features include a standard Mac OS X installer, a native Aqua menu bar, use of the Mac OS X printing system, full clipboard support, drag-and-drop, Mac "command" key shortcuts, mouse scrolling, integration with major Mac email clients and native support for Mac fonts.+"This release is the culmination of many thousands of volunteer hours," said NeoOffice®/J creator and primary developer Patrick Luby. "As a result of this tremendous effort, we have a very stable, full-featured office suite for Mac OS X that supports dozens of languages."
-"NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is a standalone, double-clickable Mac application and does NOT require additional X11 software," said core engineer and NeoOffice.org founder Ed Peterlin. "Our goal has always been to make NeoOffice®/J 100% indistinguishable from any other Macintosh application in look-and-feel. Version 1.1 is a major step in that direction."+NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is available today as a free download from the Planamesa Software website at http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/.
-<b>A Feature-Complete Office Solution</b>+==== A Feature-Complete, World-Class Office Solution ====
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 provides compatibility with Microsoft Office and Corel WordPerfect and offers a robust feature set common to all major office suites, including the ability to track changes as a document is forwarded from one user to another. NeoOffice®/J can export to many formats such as PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Its native file format is open and XML-based, freeing users’ documents from vendor lock-in, a frequent complaint against proprietary office suites.
-NeoOffice®/J 1.1 has a robust feature set common to major office suites. It can import Microsoft™ Office and WordPerfect™ documents and exports to many formats including PDF, HTML, Flash, and Microsoft™ Office. NeoOffice®/J also provides collaborative abilities such as tracking changes as a document is sent from one user to another.+NeoOffice®/J 1.1 also offers localized user interfaces in forty languages and supports text entry in Roman and non-Roman scripts, including South Asian, East Asian, right-to-left and complex text layout scripts. This has allowed individuals and organizations across the globe—from schools to non-profits to corporations—to adopt NeoOffice®/J as their primary office suite.
-NeoOffice/J 1.1 offers localized user interfaces in FORTY languages and supports text entry in Roman and non-Roman scripts, including South Asian, East Asian, right-to-left and complex text layout scripts.+"We've leveraged OpenOffice.org's amazing internationalization efforts, which makes NeoOffice®/J a great solution for Mac OS X users all around the world," said core engineer and NeoOffice.org founder Ed Peterlin.
-"We've leveraged Openoffice.org's amazing internationalization efforts, which makes NeoOffice®/J a great solution for Mac OS X users all around the world," said Peterlin.+==== A Simple Idea ====
-<!-- +"When I started the NeoOffice®/J project, there really was no viable alternative to Microsoft's Mac version of Office," noted Luby. "There were other Mac word processors, but few that included spreadsheet and presentation support. The cross-platform OpenOffice.org suite incorporated all three and featured strong compatibility with Microsoft Office documents. So creating a native Mac OS X version of OpenOffice.org seemed like a good idea."
-This part is true, but it's absolutely NOT Patrick! We can maybe rework some of it to tone it down and leave out Patrick. It would be good to have a quote or two from Patrick somewhere in the release, but it's got to be *really* from Patrick, not invented from fantasy-Patrick-cousin-of-Steve-Jobs!+==== Seamless Integration of OpenOffice.org with Mac OS X ====
 +Based on the latest stable OpenOffice.org codebase, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offers extensive integration with Mac OS X. Key Macintosh features include a standard Mac OS X installer, a native Aqua menu bar, use of the Mac OS X printing system, full clipboard support, drag-and-drop, Mac "command" key shortcuts, mouse scrolling, integration with major Mac email clients and native support for Mac fonts. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
-<b>Open Source, Stable, And Free</b>+"NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is a standalone, double-clickable Mac application and does not require additional X11 software," said Peterlin. "Our goal is to make NeoOffice®/J 100% indistinguishable from any other Macintosh application in look-and-feel. Version 1.1 is a major step in that direction."
-"We're obviously very excited about this release," said [WHOEVER], a NeoOffice®/J community member. "We think people who've never open-source software will enjoy NeoOffice®/J's stability and ease-of-use. You get everything you'd expect in an office suite. But here's what I think makes NeoOffice®/J special-- you can download and use as many copies as you like, on as many computers as you want, for free."+==== Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Spotlight Support ====
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 also includes <b>NeoLight</b>, a plugin for Spotlight, the new search feature in Apple's Mac OS X 10.4. "With this plugin, your NeoOffice®/J files will be indexed and can be searched instantly in a familiar, Mac-like fashion," added Peterlin. "It's just another way we're working to integrate with the full Mac OS X experience."
-Public responses to the beta-program have been extremely positive. "Entire companies have switched over and now use NeoOffice®/J exclusively as their office suite," [WHOEVER] says. "It's saved them a ton of money."+==== Open Source Development ====
--->+NeoOffice®/J uses the open source development model to leverage the resources of a global community of volunteer programmers, users and testers.
-<b>Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Spotlight Support</b>+"My goal was to create a self-supporting, volunteer-based project to build an office suite for Mac OS X," said Luby. "I felt that if people really wanted an application like NeoOffice®/J, they would help by reporting bugs, answering support questions, and maybe even making donations."
-NeoOffice®/J 1.1 includes <b>NeoLight</b>, a plugin for "Spotlight", the new search feature in Apple's Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger". "With this plugin, your NeoOffice®/J files will be indexed and can be searched instantly with Spotlight in a familiar, Mac-like fashion," said Peterlin. "It's just another way we're working to integrate with the full Mac OS X experience."+"As the user base has grown and become more involved, NeoOffice®/J has benefited and improved accordingly," Luby added. "It is the combined contributions of our users that have made NeoOffice®/J what it is today, and this release is only the beginning."

 + 
 + 
 +POUR PUBLICATION IMMÉDIATE
 + 
 +==== Introduction de NeoOffice®/J 1.1 ====
 +Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software et la communauté NeoOffice.org sont fiers d'annoncer la sortie de <b>NeoOffice®/J 1.1</b>, une version native Mac OS X de la suite bureautique OpenOffice.org qui inclut des modules de traitement de texte, tableur, présentation et dessin vectoriel compatibles avec Microsoft Office.
 + 
 +Selon le créateur et développeur principal de NeoOffice®/J, Patrick Luby, "Cette version est la culmination de milliers d'heures de travail de volontaires". "En récompense de cet effort, nous avons une suite bureautique pour Mac OS X entièrement fonctionnelle, très stable et supportant des douzaines de langues."
 + 
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est disponible aujourd'hui en tant que téléchargement gratuit à partir du site web de Planamesa Software : http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/fr/.
 + 
 +==== Une solution bureautique pleinement fonctionnelle de classe mondiale ====
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est compatible avec Microsoft Office et Corel WordPerfect et offre un jeu de fonctionnalités commun aux suites bureautiques majeures, incluant la possibilité de suivre les modifications effectuées par différents utilisateurs sur un document. NeoOffice®/J permet l'exportation vers différents formats de fichiers tels que PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel et PowerPoint. Son format de fichier natif est ouvert et basé sur XML, libérant les documents utilisateur d'une limitation par le vendeur, un reproche fréquemment fait aux suites bureautiques propriétaires.
 + 
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offre aussi une interface utilisateur localisée dans 40 langues et supporte la saisie de texte selon des scripts Roman et non Roman, incluant les méthodes de saisie complexes sud asiatiques, est asiatique et droite vers gauche. Celà a permis à de nombreuses personnes et organisations tout autour de la terre, allant d'écoles à des sociétés en passant par des associations, de choisir NeoOffice®/J en tant que suite bureautique principale.
 + 
 +"Nous avons bénéficié des importants efforts d'internationalisation d'OpenOffice.org, ce qui fait de NeoOffice®/J une excellente solution pour tous les utilisateurs de Mac OS X de par le monde" a déclaré Ed Peterlin, développeur et fondateur de NeoOffice.org.
 + 
 +==== Une idée simple ====
 +"Quand j'ai commencé le projet NeoOffice®/J, Il n'y avait aucune alternative viable à la version Mac de Microsoft Office" remarque Patrick Luby. "Il y avait d'autres traitements de texte mais peu incluaient un tableur et un module de présentation. La suite multi plateforme OpenOffice.org incorpore ces trois modules et fournit un bonne compatibilité avec les documents Microsoft Office. Créer une version native Mac OS X d'OpenOffice.org sembla donc être une bonne idée."
 + 
 +==== Intégration poussée d'OpenOffice.org avec Mac OS X ====
 +Basée sur le code de la dernière version stable d'OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offre une intégration poussée avec Mac OS X. Les fonctions clés incluent un installeur standard Mac OS X, des menus natifs Aqua, l'utilisation du système d'impression natif de Mac OS X, support total du presse-papiers, du glisser-déposer, des raccourcis clavier Mac (touche "commande" ou "Pomme"), du défilement à l'aide de la molette, l'intégration avec la majorité des clients email Mac et le support natif des polices de caractères Mac. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est compatible avec Mac OS X 10.2 ou supérieur.
 + 
 +"NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est une application Mac indépendante, double-cliquable et ne requière pas le logiciel additionnel X11" déclare Ed Peterlin. "Notre but est de faire en sorte que NeoOffice®/J soit 100% indistinctible d'une autre application Mac au niveau du look and feel. La version 1.1 représente une avancée majeure dans cette direction."
 + 
 +==== Support de Spotlight sous Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" ====
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 inclut aussi <b>NeoLight</b>, un importeur pour Spotlight, la nouvelle fonctionnalité de recherche de Mac OS X 10.4. "Avec cet importeur, vos documents NeoOffice®/J sont indexés et vous pouvez rechercher dedans instantanément avec la facilité légendaire du Mac" ajoute Ed Peterlin. "C'est juste une autre manière de fournir une intégration totale avec Mac OS X sur laquelle nous travaillons."
 + 
 +==== Développement Open Source ====
 +NeoOffice®/J est développé selon le modèle open source pour bénéficier des ressources d'une communauté mondiale de programmeurs, utilisateurs et testeurs.
 + 
 +"Mon but est de créer un projet autonome et basé sur le volontariat pour construire une suite bureautique pour Mac OS X" déclare Patrick Luby. "Je suis convaincu que si des gens sont réellement intéressés par une application comme NeoOffice®/J, ils aideront en rapportant les bugs, en répondant aux questions de support technique et peut-être même en faisant des donations."
 + 
 +"Comme le nombre d'utilisateurs a augmenté et qu'ils se sont impliqués, NeoOffice®/J en a bénéficié et s'est amélioré" ajoute Patrick Luby. "Ce sont les contributions combinées de nos utilisateurs qui ont fait de NeoOffice®/J ce qu'il est aujourd'hui; et cette version représente seulement le commencement."
 + 
 +==== Disponibilité ====
 +Publiée en tant que logiciel libre et open source sous la Licence Publique Générale GNU, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est disponible dès maintenant sur http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/fr/. Les utilisateurs sont encouragés à télécharger et distribuer gratuitement le logiciel. Le développement de l'application progresse grâce à des programmeurs volontaires, des bêta-testeurs, des artistes et des rédacteurs. Les personnes intéressées sont invitées à consulter http://trinity.neooffice.org/ pour plus d'information sur la manière d'aider le projet.

 +Sunnyvale, Californië, USA - Planamesa Software en de NeoOffice.org gemeenschap kondigen met gepaste trots '''NeoOffice®/J 1.1''' aan, een ingeburgerde Mac OS X versie van het OpenOffice.org office pakket, dat een complete en uitgebreide tekstverwerker en reken-, presentatie- en tekenprogramma's bevat.
---[[User:Ovvldc|Ovvldc]] 17:01, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) Added Flash to export list.+"Deze uitgave is de kroon op vele duizenden uren vrijwilligerswerk," zei NeoOffice/J maker en hoofdontwikkkelaar, Patrick Luby. "Als gevolg van deze enorme inspanning hebben we een heel stabiel en functierijk office pakket voor Mac OS X dat tientallen talen ondersteunt."

 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 werkt samen met Microsoft Office en Corel Wordperfect en biedt een robuuste set functies zoals men die verwacht van alle grote office pakketten, inclusief de mogelijkheid om veranderingen bij te houden terwijl een document van gebruiker naar gebruiker gaat. NeoOffice®/J kan exporteren naar vele formaten zoals PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel en Powerpoint. Het eigen formaat is open en gebaseerd op de XML standaard, zodat gebruikers niet afhankelijk worden van één enkele software-leverancier, een veel gehoorde klacht tegen merkgebonden office pakketten.
---[[User:Ovvldc|Ovvldc]] 10:11, 22 Apr 2005 (CDT) Added track changes and fixed a typo.+NeoOffice®/J 1.1 biedt een gelokaliseerde gebruikersomgeving in veertig talen en ondersteunt tekstinvoer in Romeinse en niet-Romeinse schriften, inclusief Zuid-Aziatische, Oost-Aziatische, rechts-naar-links en complexe tekstopmaak. Dit heeft het mogelijk gemaakt dat individuen en organisaties over de hele wereld - van scholen tot openbare instellingen tot bedrijven - NeoOffice®/J als hun belangrijkste office pakket hebben gekozen.
---[[User:Sardisson|sardisson]] 21:43, 25 Apr 2005 (CDT) I didn't like the one-long-sentence 2nd pgh, either, so it's been split/rewritten. Also rearranged/rewrote a couple of clauses in pgh 3.+"We hebben al het indrukwekkend internationaliseringswerk van OpenOffice.org ingezet, wat NeoOffice®/J een geweldige oplossing maakt voor Mac OS X gebruikers over de hele wereld," zei kernontwikkelaar en NeoOffice.org grondlegger Ed Peterlin.
---[[User:Ovvldc|Ovvldc]] 04:42, 26 Apr 2005 (CDT) minor nit: I changed the lost comma at the end of the second paragraph to 'and'.+==== Een Simpel Idee ====
 +"Toen ik met het NeoOffice®/J project begon, was er eigenlijk geen echt alternatief voor Microsoft's Mac versie van Office," merkte Luby op. "Er waren andere tekstverwerkers voor de Mac, maar niet veel die ook ondersteuning voor spreadsheets en presentaties hadden. Het multi-platform OpenOffice.org pakket bevatte alle drie en kon zeer goed omgaan met Microsoft Office documenten. Dus leek het een goed idee om een versie van OpenOffice.org te maken die met Mac OS X is geïntegreerd ."
---[[User:Waldo|Waldo]] 16:53, 26 Apr 2005 (CDT) some more changes...tried to add some personality. Fixed some spelling stuff.. other changes. Need to make sure that everyone quoted is fine with quotes attributed to them. They should probably read the press release out loud just to make sure they did in fact say it ;)+==== Naadloze integratie van OpenOffice.org met Mac OS X ====
---[[User:Waldo|Waldo]] 21:14, 26 Apr 2005 (CDT) added url in first line, more quotes, rearraged some stuff.. trying to make it flow.+NeoOffice®/J 1.1 biedt uitgebreide integratie met Mac OS X, en is gebaseerd op de meest recente stabiele broncode voor OpenOffice.org. Belangrijke eigenschappen zijn een standaard Mac OS X installatieprogramma, een geïntegreerde Aqua menubalk, gebruik van het Mac OS X afdruksysteem, volledige ondersteuning voor het klembord, slepen van tekst en beeld, Mac "command" sneltoetsen, muisscrollen, integratie met bekende Mac e-mailprogramma's en ondersteuning van Mac-eigen lettertypen. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 werkt op Mac OS X 10.2 en latere versies.
---[[User:Sardisson|sardisson]] 02:27, 27 Apr 2005 (CDT) Trying to keep the cart behind the horse. Commented out the radically un-Patrick sections, and made Ed's fake quotes the meaningful ones. Tweaked some wording to improve flow. Put call for additional help back in the "release proper." Tried to work in "volunteer," esp. in light of Patrick's going back to work, but it should be more prominent. Also, it's getting pretty long, even with the sections commented out, so we need to be mindful.

"Weer een manier waarop we aansluiten met de gehele Mac OS X ervaring."

 +NeoOffice®/J gebruikt het open broncode ontwikkelingsmodel om de inspanningen van een wereldwijde gemeenschap van vrijwillige programmeurs, gebruikers en testers bij elkaar te brengen. "Mijn doel was om een zichzelf-ondersteunend, op vrijwilligers gebaseerd project op te zetten om een office pakket te bouwen voor Mac OS X," zei Luby. "Ik had het gevoel dat als mensen echt een programma als NeoOffice®/J wilden, ze zouden helpen met het aanmelden van fouten, beantwoorden van gebruikersvragen en misschien zelfs donaties.
---[[User:Sardisson|sardisson]] 22:49, 27 Apr 2005 (CDT) I don't like that "real mac application" header at all, because even without the quotes it's vague. To some people it means cocoa, to others an X11 app that runs on the Mac is a real Mac app, because it doesn't need an emulator, e.g. VPC. But I don't know what to replace that heading with yet....+"Zoals het aantal gebruikers groeide en ze ook meer betrokken raakten heeft NeoOffice®/J daar evenredig van geprofiteerd," voed Luby toe. "Het zijn de gezamenlijke bijdragen van onze gebruikers die NeoOffice®/J hebben gemaakt tot wat het nu is, en deze uitgave is slechts het begin."

 +<div align="center"><b>NeoOffice®/J 1.1 for Mac OS X er lansert</b></div>
 +
 +====La oss presentere NeoOffice®/J 1.1====
 +Sunnyvale, California, USA – Planamesa Software og NeoOffice.org-samfunnet er stolte av Ã¥ presentere NeoOffice®/J 1.1, en ekte («native») Mac OS X-utgave av OpenOffice.org kontor programvarepakke som inneholder Microsoft Office-kompatibel tekstbehandling, regneark, presentasjons- og tegneprogram.
 +
 +«Denne lanseringen er høydepunktet etter mange tusen timer frivillig arbeid,» sier skaperen av NeoOffice®/J og sjefsutvikler Patrick Luby. «Som resultat av denne enorme innsatsen, har vi fÃ¥tt en svært stabil, fullverdig programvarepakke for kontorbruk for Mac OS X som støtter dusinvis av sprÃ¥k.»
 +
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 er tilgjengelig fra i dag for gratis nedlasting fra Planamesa Softwares nettsted pÃ¥ http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/.
 +
 +====En komplett kontorpakke i toppklasse====
 +
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 er kompatibel med Microsoft Office og Corel WordPerfect og gir alle de vanlige funksjonene som finnes i de store kontorprogrammene, blant annet muligheten for Ã¥ spore endringer i dokumenter som bearbeides av flere personer. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 kan eksportere til mange formater som: PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel og PowerPoint. Programmets eget filformat er Ã¥pent og basert pÃ¥ XML. Dette gjør at brukerne slipper unna begrensningene som enkelte produsenter gir gjennom lukkede formater, noe som er en vanlig anklage mot proprietære programvarer.
 +
 +NeoOffice®/J 1.1 tilbyr ogsÃ¥ lokalt tilpassede brukergrensesnitt pÃ¥ 40 (førti) sprÃ¥k og støtter romerske og ikke-romerske tegnsett (inkludert sør- og østasiatiske), tekst fra høyre samt dokumenter med sammensatte sprÃ¥k og tegnsett. Dette har gjort det mulig for privatpersoner og organisasjoner over hele verden – fra skoler, ideelle organisasjoner til næringsvirksomheter – Ã¥ ta i bruk NeoOffice®/J 1.1 som sitt primære kontorprogram.
 +
 +«Vi har dratt stor nytte av OpenOffice.orgs utrolige innsats for internasjonalisering, noe som gjør NeoOffice®/J 1.1 til en svært god løsning for Mac OS X-brukere over hele verden,» sier hovedprogrammerer og grunnleggeren av NeoOffice.org, Ed Peterlin.
 +
 +====En enkel idé====
 +«Da jeg startet NeoOffice®/J-prosjektet, fantes det ikke noe gangbart alternativ til Microsofts Mac-utgave av Office,» bemerker Luby. «Det fantes andre tekstbehandlingsprogrammer til Mac, men fÃ¥ som inkluderte regneark og presentasjonsverktøy. Den plattform uavhengige programpakken OpenOffice.org hadde alle disse - og fordelen med Ã¥ være kompatibel med Microsoft Office-dokumenter. SÃ¥ det Ã¥ lage en ekte Mac OS X-versjon av OpenOffice.org virket som en god idé.»
 +
 +====OpenOffice.org sømløst integrert med Mac OS X====
 +NeoOffice®/J er basert pÃ¥ den siste, stabile kildekoden til OpenOffice.org og har utstrakt integrasjon med Mac OS X. Viktige Macintosh-kvaliteter inkluderer standard OS X installerer, ekte Aqua menylinje, bruk av Mac OS X utskriftsressurser, full støtte for utklippsbok, «dra-og-slipp», Mac «kommando»-tast snarveier, mus med rullehjul, integrasjon med viktige epostklienter og ekte støtte for Mac fonter. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 er kompatibel med Mac OS X 10.2 og senere versjoner.
 +
 +«NeoOffice®/J er en frittstÃ¥ende, dobbel-klikkbar Mac programvare som ikke behøver X11 programvare i tillegg», sier Peterlin. «VÃ¥rt mÃ¥l er Ã¥ gjøre NeoOffice®/J 100% lik andre Macintosh programmer i utseende og følelse. Versjon 1.1 er et viktig skritt i den retningen.»
 +
 +====Støtte for SpotLight i Mac OS X 10.4 «Tiger»====
 +NeoOffice®/J inkluderer NeoLight som er et programtillegg («plug-in») for Spotlight, den nye søkefunksjonen i Apples Mac OS X 10.4. «Med dette programtillegget vil dine NeoOffice®/J-dokumenter bli indeksert og kan bli tilgjengelig pÃ¥ et øyeblikk i Spotlight pÃ¥ den vanlige, Mac-mÃ¥ten», fortsetter Peterlin. «Dette er bare nok et eksempel pÃ¥ hvordan vil arbeider for Ã¥ bli en del av Mac OS X-opplevelsen.»
 +
 +====Programutvikling med Ã¥pen kildekode====
 +
 +NeoOffice®/J er basert pÃ¥ modellen for utvikling av programvare med Ã¥pen kildekode, slik at den kan gjøre bruk av ressursene i et globalt miljø av frivillige programmerere, brukere og testere.
 +
 +«Mitt mÃ¥l var Ã¥ skape et selvdrevet prosjekt med frivillige bidragsytere for Ã¥ bygge en Mac OS X programvarepakke for kontorbruk,» forteller Luby. «Jeg følte at hvis folk virkelig ønsket en programpakke som NeoOffice®/J, sÃ¥ ville de hjelpe til med Ã¥ melde fra om feil, svare pÃ¥ spørsmÃ¥l og være brukerstøtte - og kanskje til og med donere penger til arbeidet.»
 +
 +«Etter som brukergruppen har vokst og blitt mer engasjert, har nytteverdien for NeoOffice®/J og forbedringen av programmet økt tilsvarende,» fortsetter Luby. «Det er den samlede innsatsen og bidragene fra vÃ¥re brukere som har gjort NeoOffice®/J til hva den er i dag, og slippet av denne versjonen er bare begynnelsen.»
 +
 +====Tilgjengelighet====
 +
 +Programmet leveres som en fri, Ã¥pen kildekode programvare under GNU General Public License. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 er tilgjengelig pÃ¥ http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/. Brukere oppfordres til Ã¥ laste ned og fritt distribuere programmet. Videre utviklingen av programvaren pÃ¥gÃ¥r med frivillige programmerere, betatestere, designere og skribenter. Alle interesserte inviteres til Ã¥ besøke http://trinity.neooffice.org/ for mer informasjon om hvordan de kan bidra til prosjektet.

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 for Mac OS X Released

June 22, 2005


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Introducing NeoOffice®/J 1.1

Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software and the NeoOffice.org community are proud to introduce NeoOffice®/J 1.1, a Mac OS X-native version of the OpenOffice.org office suite that includes Microsoft Office-compatible word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and drawing applications.

"This release is the culmination of many thousands of volunteer hours," said NeoOffice®/J creator and primary developer Patrick Luby. "As a result of this tremendous effort, we have a very stable, full-featured office suite for Mac OS X that supports dozens of languages."

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is available today as a free download from the Planamesa Software website at http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/.

A Feature-Complete, World-Class Office Solution

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 provides compatibility with Microsoft Office and Corel WordPerfect and offers a robust feature set common to all major office suites, including the ability to track changes as a document is forwarded from one user to another. NeoOffice®/J can export to many formats such as PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Its native file format is open and XML-based, freeing users’ documents from vendor lock-in, a frequent complaint against proprietary office suites.

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 also offers localized user interfaces in forty languages and supports text entry in Roman and non-Roman scripts, including South Asian, East Asian, right-to-left and complex text layout scripts. This has allowed individuals and organizations across the globe—from schools to non-profits to corporations—to adopt NeoOffice®/J as their primary office suite.

"We've leveraged OpenOffice.org's amazing internationalization efforts, which makes NeoOffice®/J a great solution for Mac OS X users all around the world," said core engineer and NeoOffice.org founder Ed Peterlin.

A Simple Idea

"When I started the NeoOffice®/J project, there really was no viable alternative to Microsoft's Mac version of Office," noted Luby. "There were other Mac word processors, but few that included spreadsheet and presentation support. The cross-platform OpenOffice.org suite incorporated all three and featured strong compatibility with Microsoft Office documents. So creating a native Mac OS X version of OpenOffice.org seemed like a good idea."

Seamless Integration of OpenOffice.org with Mac OS X

Based on the latest stable OpenOffice.org codebase, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offers extensive integration with Mac OS X. Key Macintosh features include a standard Mac OS X installer, a native Aqua menu bar, use of the Mac OS X printing system, full clipboard support, drag-and-drop, Mac "command" key shortcuts, mouse scrolling, integration with major Mac email clients and native support for Mac fonts. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

"NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is a standalone, double-clickable Mac application and does not require additional X11 software," said Peterlin. "Our goal is to make NeoOffice®/J 100% indistinguishable from any other Macintosh application in look-and-feel. Version 1.1 is a major step in that direction."

Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Spotlight Support

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 also includes NeoLight, a plugin for Spotlight, the new search feature in Apple's Mac OS X 10.4. "With this plugin, your NeoOffice®/J files will be indexed and can be searched instantly in a familiar, Mac-like fashion," added Peterlin. "It's just another way we're working to integrate with the full Mac OS X experience."

Open Source Development

NeoOffice®/J uses the open source development model to leverage the resources of a global community of volunteer programmers, users and testers.

"My goal was to create a self-supporting, volunteer-based project to build an office suite for Mac OS X," said Luby. "I felt that if people really wanted an application like NeoOffice®/J, they would help by reporting bugs, answering support questions, and maybe even making donations."

"As the user base has grown and become more involved, NeoOffice®/J has benefited and improved accordingly," Luby added. "It is the combined contributions of our users that have made NeoOffice®/J what it is today, and this release is only the beginning."

Availability

Released as free, open source software under the GNU General Public License, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is available now at http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/. Users are encouraged to download and freely distribute the software. Development of the application is ongoing by volunteer programmers, beta-testers, artists and writers. Interested parties are invited to visit http://trinity.neooffice.org/ for more information about helping with the project.

Annonce de NeoOffice®/J 1.1 pour Mac OS X

22 juin 2005


POUR PUBLICATION IMMÉDIATE

Introduction de NeoOffice®/J 1.1

Sunnyvale, California, USA - Planamesa Software et la communauté NeoOffice.org sont fiers d'annoncer la sortie de NeoOffice®/J 1.1, une version native Mac OS X de la suite bureautique OpenOffice.org qui inclut des modules de traitement de texte, tableur, présentation et dessin vectoriel compatibles avec Microsoft Office.

Selon le créateur et développeur principal de NeoOffice®/J, Patrick Luby, "Cette version est la culmination de milliers d'heures de travail de volontaires". "En récompense de cet effort, nous avons une suite bureautique pour Mac OS X entièrement fonctionnelle, très stable et supportant des douzaines de langues."

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est disponible aujourd'hui en tant que téléchargement gratuit à partir du site web de Planamesa Software : http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/fr/.

Une solution bureautique pleinement fonctionnelle de classe mondiale

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est compatible avec Microsoft Office et Corel WordPerfect et offre un jeu de fonctionnalités commun aux suites bureautiques majeures, incluant la possibilité de suivre les modifications effectuées par différents utilisateurs sur un document. NeoOffice®/J permet l'exportation vers différents formats de fichiers tels que PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel et PowerPoint. Son format de fichier natif est ouvert et basé sur XML, libérant les documents utilisateur d'une limitation par le vendeur, un reproche fréquemment fait aux suites bureautiques propriétaires.

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offre aussi une interface utilisateur localisée dans 40 langues et supporte la saisie de texte selon des scripts Roman et non Roman, incluant les méthodes de saisie complexes sud asiatiques, est asiatique et droite vers gauche. Celà a permis à de nombreuses personnes et organisations tout autour de la terre, allant d'écoles à des sociétés en passant par des associations, de choisir NeoOffice®/J en tant que suite bureautique principale.

"Nous avons bénéficié des importants efforts d'internationalisation d'OpenOffice.org, ce qui fait de NeoOffice®/J une excellente solution pour tous les utilisateurs de Mac OS X de par le monde" a déclaré Ed Peterlin, développeur et fondateur de NeoOffice.org.

Une idée simple

"Quand j'ai commencé le projet NeoOffice®/J, Il n'y avait aucune alternative viable à la version Mac de Microsoft Office" remarque Patrick Luby. "Il y avait d'autres traitements de texte mais peu incluaient un tableur et un module de présentation. La suite multi plateforme OpenOffice.org incorpore ces trois modules et fournit un bonne compatibilité avec les documents Microsoft Office. Créer une version native Mac OS X d'OpenOffice.org sembla donc être une bonne idée."

Intégration poussée d'OpenOffice.org avec Mac OS X

Basée sur le code de la dernière version stable d'OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 offre une intégration poussée avec Mac OS X. Les fonctions clés incluent un installeur standard Mac OS X, des menus natifs Aqua, l'utilisation du système d'impression natif de Mac OS X, support total du presse-papiers, du glisser-déposer, des raccourcis clavier Mac (touche "commande" ou "Pomme"), du défilement à l'aide de la molette, l'intégration avec la majorité des clients email Mac et le support natif des polices de caractères Mac. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est compatible avec Mac OS X 10.2 ou supérieur.

"NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est une application Mac indépendante, double-cliquable et ne requière pas le logiciel additionnel X11" déclare Ed Peterlin. "Notre but est de faire en sorte que NeoOffice®/J soit 100% indistinctible d'une autre application Mac au niveau du look and feel. La version 1.1 représente une avancée majeure dans cette direction."

Support de Spotlight sous Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger"

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 inclut aussi NeoLight, un importeur pour Spotlight, la nouvelle fonctionnalité de recherche de Mac OS X 10.4. "Avec cet importeur, vos documents NeoOffice®/J sont indexés et vous pouvez rechercher dedans instantanément avec la facilité légendaire du Mac" ajoute Ed Peterlin. "C'est juste une autre manière de fournir une intégration totale avec Mac OS X sur laquelle nous travaillons."

Développement Open Source

NeoOffice®/J est développé selon le modèle open source pour bénéficier des ressources d'une communauté mondiale de programmeurs, utilisateurs et testeurs.

"Mon but est de créer un projet autonome et basé sur le volontariat pour construire une suite bureautique pour Mac OS X" déclare Patrick Luby. "Je suis convaincu que si des gens sont réellement intéressés par une application comme NeoOffice®/J, ils aideront en rapportant les bugs, en répondant aux questions de support technique et peut-être même en faisant des donations."

"Comme le nombre d'utilisateurs a augmenté et qu'ils se sont impliqués, NeoOffice®/J en a bénéficié et s'est amélioré" ajoute Patrick Luby. "Ce sont les contributions combinées de nos utilisateurs qui ont fait de NeoOffice®/J ce qu'il est aujourd'hui; et cette version représente seulement le commencement."

Disponibilité

Publiée en tant que logiciel libre et open source sous la Licence Publique Générale GNU, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 est disponible dès maintenant sur http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/fr/. Les utilisateurs sont encouragés à télécharger et distribuer gratuitement le logiciel. Le développement de l'application progresse grâce à des programmeurs volontaires, des bêta-testeurs, des artistes et des rédacteurs.

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 voor Mac OS X is uit

22 juni 2005


VOOR ONMIDDELLIJKE PUBLICATIE

Presentatie van NeoOffice®/J 1.1

Sunnyvale, Californië, USA - Planamesa Software en de NeoOffice.org gemeenschap kondigen met gepaste trots NeoOffice®/J 1.1 aan, een ingeburgerde Mac OS X versie van het OpenOffice.org office pakket, dat een complete en uitgebreide tekstverwerker en reken-, presentatie- en tekenprogramma's bevat.

"Deze uitgave is de kroon op vele duizenden uren vrijwilligerswerk," zei NeoOffice/J maker en hoofdontwikkkelaar, Patrick Luby. "Als gevolg van deze enorme inspanning hebben we een heel stabiel en functierijk office pakket voor Mac OS X dat tientallen talen ondersteunt."

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is vanaf vandaag beschikbaar als gratis download op de Planamesa Software webstek op http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/nl/.

Een Functie-Complete Office-Oplossing van Wereldklasse

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 werkt samen met Microsoft Office en Corel Wordperfect en biedt een robuuste set functies zoals men die verwacht van alle grote office pakketten, inclusief de mogelijkheid om veranderingen bij te houden terwijl een document van gebruiker naar gebruiker gaat. NeoOffice®/J kan exporteren naar vele formaten zoals PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel en Powerpoint. Het eigen formaat is open en gebaseerd op de XML standaard, zodat gebruikers niet afhankelijk worden van één enkele software-leverancier, een veel gehoorde klacht tegen merkgebonden office pakketten.

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 biedt een gelokaliseerde gebruikersomgeving in veertig talen en ondersteunt tekstinvoer in Romeinse en niet-Romeinse schriften, inclusief Zuid-Aziatische, Oost-Aziatische, rechts-naar-links en complexe tekstopmaak. Dit heeft het mogelijk gemaakt dat individuen en organisaties over de hele wereld - van scholen tot openbare instellingen tot bedrijven - NeoOffice®/J als hun belangrijkste office pakket hebben gekozen.

"We hebben al het indrukwekkend internationaliseringswerk van OpenOffice.org ingezet, wat NeoOffice®/J een geweldige oplossing maakt voor Mac OS X gebruikers over de hele wereld," zei kernontwikkelaar en NeoOffice.org grondlegger Ed Peterlin.

Een Simpel Idee

"Toen ik met het NeoOffice®/J project begon, was er eigenlijk geen echt alternatief voor Microsoft's Mac versie van Office," merkte Luby op. "Er waren andere tekstverwerkers voor de Mac, maar niet veel die ook ondersteuning voor spreadsheets en presentaties hadden. Het multi-platform OpenOffice.org pakket bevatte alle drie en kon zeer goed omgaan met Microsoft Office documenten. Dus leek het een goed idee om een versie van OpenOffice.org te maken die met Mac OS X is geïntegreerd ."

Naadloze integratie van OpenOffice.org met Mac OS X

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 biedt uitgebreide integratie met Mac OS X, en is gebaseerd op de meest recente stabiele broncode voor OpenOffice.org. Belangrijke eigenschappen zijn een standaard Mac OS X installatieprogramma, een geïntegreerde Aqua menubalk, gebruik van het Mac OS X afdruksysteem, volledige ondersteuning voor het klembord, slepen van tekst en beeld, Mac "command" sneltoetsen, muisscrollen, integratie met bekende Mac e-mailprogramma's en ondersteuning van Mac-eigen lettertypen. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 werkt op Mac OS X 10.2 en latere versies.

"NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is een losse dubbel-klikbare Mac toepassing die geen extra X11 software nodig heeft," zei Peterlin. "Ons doel was om NeoOffice®/J qua sfeer 100% onherkenbaar te maken van iedere andere Macintosh toepassing. Versie 1.1 is een grote stap in die richting."

Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Spotlight Ondersteuning

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 bevat ook NeoLight, een plugin voor Spotlight, de nieuwe zoekfunctie in Apple's Mac OS X 10.4. "Met deze plugin worden uw NeoOffice®/J samengevat en kunnen ze onmiddellijk worden doorzocht op de gebruikelijke Mac manier," voegde Peterlin toe. "Weer een manier waarop we aansluiten met de gehele Mac OS X ervaring."

Open Broncode Ontwikkeling

NeoOffice®/J gebruikt het open broncode ontwikkelingsmodel om de inspanningen van een wereldwijde gemeenschap van vrijwillige programmeurs, gebruikers en testers bij elkaar te brengen. "Mijn doel was om een zichzelf-ondersteunend, op vrijwilligers gebaseerd project op te zetten om een office pakket te bouwen voor Mac OS X," zei Luby. "Ik had het gevoel dat als mensen echt een programma als NeoOffice®/J wilden, ze zouden helpen met het aanmelden van fouten, beantwoorden van gebruikersvragen en misschien zelfs donaties.

"Zoals het aantal gebruikers groeide en ze ook meer betrokken raakten heeft NeoOffice®/J daar evenredig van geprofiteerd," voed Luby toe. "Het zijn de gezamenlijke bijdragen van onze gebruikers die NeoOffice®/J hebben gemaakt tot wat het nu is, en deze uitgave is slechts het begin."

Beschikbaarheid

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is nu beschikbaar op http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/nl/, uitgegeven als gratis, open source software onder de GNU General Public License. Gebruikers worden aangemoedigd om de software te downloaden en gratis te verspreiden. De ontwikkeling van het programma gaat verder door met vrijwillige programmeurs, bèta-testers, artiesten en schrijvers. Geïnteresseerden zijn uitgenodigd om een bezoek te brengen aan http://trinity.neooffice.org/ voor meer informatie over bijdragen aan het project.

PRESSEMELDING (ingen sperrefrist), 22. juni 2005

Kontakt: community at neooffice dot org


NeoOffice®/J 1.1 for Mac OS X er lansert

La oss presentere NeoOffice®/J 1.1

Sunnyvale, California, USA – Planamesa Software og NeoOffice.org-samfunnet er stolte av å presentere NeoOffice®/J 1.1, en ekte («native») Mac OS X-utgave av OpenOffice.org kontor programvarepakke som inneholder Microsoft Office-kompatibel tekstbehandling, regneark, presentasjons- og tegneprogram.

«Denne lanseringen er høydepunktet etter mange tusen timer frivillig arbeid,» sier skaperen av NeoOffice®/J og sjefsutvikler Patrick Luby. «Som resultat av denne enorme innsatsen, har vi fått en svært stabil, fullverdig programvarepakke for kontorbruk for Mac OS X som støtter dusinvis av språk.»

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 er tilgjengelig fra i dag for gratis nedlasting fra Planamesa Softwares nettsted på http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/.

En komplett kontorpakke i toppklasse

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 er kompatibel med Microsoft Office og Corel WordPerfect og gir alle de vanlige funksjonene som finnes i de store kontorprogrammene, blant annet muligheten for å spore endringer i dokumenter som bearbeides av flere personer. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 kan eksportere til mange formater som: PDF, HTML, Flash, Word, Excel og PowerPoint. Programmets eget filformat er åpent og basert på XML. Dette gjør at brukerne slipper unna begrensningene som enkelte produsenter gir gjennom lukkede formater, noe som er en vanlig anklage mot proprietære programvarer.

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 tilbyr også lokalt tilpassede brukergrensesnitt på 40 (førti) språk og støtter romerske og ikke-romerske tegnsett (inkludert sør- og østasiatiske), tekst fra høyre samt dokumenter med sammensatte språk og tegnsett. Dette har gjort det mulig for privatpersoner og organisasjoner over hele verden – fra skoler, ideelle organisasjoner til næringsvirksomheter – å ta i bruk NeoOffice®/J 1.1 som sitt primære kontorprogram.

«Vi har dratt stor nytte av OpenOffice.orgs utrolige innsats for internasjonalisering, noe som gjør NeoOffice®/J 1.1 til en svært god løsning for Mac OS X-brukere over hele verden,» sier hovedprogrammerer og grunnleggeren av NeoOffice.org, Ed Peterlin.

En enkel idé

«Da jeg startet NeoOffice®/J-prosjektet, fantes det ikke noe gangbart alternativ til Microsofts Mac-utgave av Office,» bemerker Luby. «Det fantes andre tekstbehandlingsprogrammer til Mac, men få som inkluderte regneark og presentasjonsverktøy. Den plattform uavhengige programpakken OpenOffice.org hadde alle disse - og fordelen med å være kompatibel med Microsoft Office-dokumenter. Så det å lage en ekte Mac OS X-versjon av OpenOffice.org virket som en god idé.»

OpenOffice.org sømløst integrert med Mac OS X

NeoOffice®/J er basert på den siste, stabile kildekoden til OpenOffice.org og har utstrakt integrasjon med Mac OS X. Viktige Macintosh-kvaliteter inkluderer standard OS X installerer, ekte Aqua menylinje, bruk av Mac OS X utskriftsressurser, full støtte for utklippsbok, «dra-og-slipp», Mac «kommando»-tast snarveier, mus med rullehjul, integrasjon med viktige epostklienter og ekte støtte for Mac fonter. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 er kompatibel med Mac OS X 10.2 og senere versjoner.

«NeoOffice®/J er en frittstående, dobbel-klikkbar Mac programvare som ikke behøver X11 programvare i tillegg», sier Peterlin. «Vårt mål er å gjøre NeoOffice®/J 100% lik andre Macintosh programmer i utseende og følelse. Versjon 1.1 er et viktig skritt i den retningen.»

Støtte for SpotLight i Mac OS X 10.4 «Tiger»

NeoOffice®/J inkluderer NeoLight som er et programtillegg («plug-in») for Spotlight, den nye søkefunksjonen i Apples Mac OS X 10.4. «Med dette programtillegget vil dine NeoOffice®/J-dokumenter bli indeksert og kan bli tilgjengelig på et øyeblikk i Spotlight på den vanlige, Mac-måten», fortsetter Peterlin. «Dette er bare nok et eksempel på hvordan vil arbeider for å bli en del av Mac OS X-opplevelsen.»

Programutvikling med åpen kildekode

NeoOffice®/J er basert på modellen for utvikling av programvare med åpen kildekode, slik at den kan gjøre bruk av ressursene i et globalt miljø av frivillige programmerere, brukere og testere.

«Mitt mål var å skape et selvdrevet prosjekt med frivillige bidragsytere for å bygge en Mac OS X programvarepakke for kontorbruk,» forteller Luby. «Jeg følte at hvis folk virkelig ønsket en programpakke som NeoOffice®/J, så ville de hjelpe til med å melde fra om feil, svare på spørsmål og være brukerstøtte - og kanskje til og med donere penger til arbeidet.»

«Etter som brukergruppen har vokst og blitt mer engasjert, har nytteverdien for NeoOffice®/J og forbedringen av programmet økt tilsvarende,» fortsetter Luby. «Det er den samlede innsatsen og bidragene fra våre brukere som har gjort NeoOffice®/J til hva den er i dag, og slippet av denne versjonen er bare begynnelsen.»

Tilgjengelighet

Programmet leveres som en fri, åpen kildekode programvare under GNU General Public License. NeoOffice®/J 1.1 er tilgjengelig på http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/. Brukere oppfordres til å laste ned og fritt distribuere programmet. Videre utviklingen av programvaren pågår med frivillige programmerere, betatestere, designere og skribenter. Alle interesserte inviteres til å besøke http://trinity.neooffice.org/ for mer informasjon om hvordan de kan bidra til prosjektet.
