--Ovvldc 08:07, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) (changed interpunction to break up that one long sentence and altered the second part to start with 'premiere release version'. Also added OpenOffice.org link for background and courtesy)
--sardisson 12:13, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) (tried to eliminate the "release" and "version" appearing in every sentence. Oscar also thinks we need some more detailed app features included in the announcement; I'd prefer to do this in a third-plus paragraph(s) :-) Oscar, how do you get this into a box...it's starting to get a mess....)

Planamesa Software og NeoOffice.org er stolte av å presentere NeoOffice®/J 1.1, en ekte (eller «native») Mac OS X-utgave av kontorprogrammet OpenOffice.org. NeoOffice®/J består av komplette programmer for tekstbehandling, regneark, presentasjoner og tegning som er kompatible med Microsoft™ Office. Programmene er basert på den siste, stabile, versjonen av kildekoden til OpenOffice.org, og trenger ikke programvaren X11 i tillegg. Denne versjonen har integrasjon med Mac OS X med bl.a. ekte Aqua-menyer, dra-og-slipp, full støtte for utklippsbok, m.m. Programmet støtter lokale brukergrensesnitt med 40 språk og tekst skrevet i med romerske og ikke-romerske alfabeter, inkludert sør- og østasiatiske, tekst fra høyre og dokumenter med sammensatt utforming.

NeoOffice®/J er en programvare basert på åpen kildekode og er gratis. Den lanseres med GNU General Public License. «Aquafisering» eller tilpasning til Aqua-grensesnittet pågår for fullt, og alle som er interesserte er velkommen til å hjelpe til med alle aspektene ved prosjektet.
