Planamesa Software and the NeoOffice.org community are pleased to announce the release of NeoOffice®/J 1.1, a Mac OS X-native version of the OpenOffice.org office suite that includes Microsoft™ Office-compatable word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing applications.

Based on the latest stable OpenOffice.org codebase, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 features Mac OS X-specific integration including a Mac installer, a native Aqua menu bar, native printing, full clipboard support, drag-and-drop, Mac "command" key shortcuts, mouse scrolling, integration with the Finder and email clients, native support for Mac fonts, and much, much more!

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is a standalone, double-clickable Mac application and does NOT require additional X11 software. It is able to import Microsoft™ Office and WordPerfect documents and can export to many formats including PDF, HTML, Flash, and Microsoft™ Office. Moreover, NeoOffice®/J supports localized user interfaces in FORTY languages as well as text entry in Roman and non-Roman scripts including South Asian, East Asian, right-to-left and complex text layout scripts.

Released as free, open source software under the GNU General Public License, NeoOffice®/J 1.1 is available now. "Aquafication" of the application is ongoing, and interested parties are invited to help with all aspects of the project.

--sardisson 07:43, 17 Apr 2005 (CDT) (first stab at a text; suggestions desired!)

--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.

--Waldo 15:33, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) Touch ups

--Waldo 15:39, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) More touch ups

--sardisson 15:49, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) Press kit link, a couple of tweaks to Waldo's changes (MSO & WP, Planamesa first b/c of multilingual) some layout changes so the fixed-width table doesn't mork screens.

--sardisson 16:03, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) Export to MSO, too--that needs to be clear, without too much emphasis on MSO :-(

--Ovvldc 17:01, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) Added Flash to export list.

--Waldo 22:28, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) more crap.. added finder/mail integration & minor layout stuff.. in text this may have to be reformatted slightly to look good. Does anyone know ? It would be nice to get a CNET/news.com story out of it at the least, see who else will pick it up..

--sardisson 10:10, 22 Apr 2005 (CDT) Email to non-address to keep spambots off while we draft the release; change back before sending; tweaked the Finder/mail client integration and Mac fonts parts--have a look

Let's keep questions/discussions in the trinity topic and only note what's changed here, for the benefit of translations. I've moved the existing "talk" (except this) to the discussion tab)

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.
