Draft Announcement

Since many translators have been contributing to the English draft and keeping the translations up-to-date proved more difficult than anticipated, I have moved the old en changelog into discussion.

Please still make a note in the "Summary" field of what you're changing, but no need to update the old changelog.

Let's keep questions/discussions in the trinity topic. I've moved the existing "talk" (except this) to the discussion tab)

NeoOffice®/J 1.1 for Mac OS X Released

June xx, 2005


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (DRAFT)


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 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 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 did all three very well 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 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 core engineer and NeoOffice.org founder Ed 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."


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 including 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 of 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-- including schools, non-profits, and 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 Peterlin.


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 large community of users and testers.

"My goal was to create a self-supporting, volunteer-based community," 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's truly the users' contributions that have made NeoOffice®/J what it is today."

"This release is just 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.

DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT--DRAFT


Note that the PR standard seems to be to apply the ™/® symbol to your trademarks and leave it off for those of others, covering that with the "other product and company names" sentence.

Please read the note in the Draft Announcement section. Let's keep questions/discussions in the trinity topic.

Tentative Freeze Date

The English text of the Announcement will be frozen (no further changes) on June 3 June 10 to allow translators enough time to translate the text into their languages (early in case we need to move the release date forward by one week due to Community Relations team availability) and to recruit new translations (fr, it, what others should we try to recruit translators for?). This date is tentative and still open for discussion.

What's Missing?

What needs to be added/changed/done before we freeze the text for translation?

In no particular order:

  1. An additional "business-centric" feature for A Feature-Complete Office Solution section, so that "track changes" doesn't seem so alone section reworked by sardisson and added document format openness/ownership of data bits
  2. A quote from Patrick, perhaps about the development or testing process (not absolutely necessary) lots of cool Patrick quotes
  3. Verify with Ed his "quotes" are acceptable
  4. Agree on a replacement for "A Real Mac App" (first) section header sardisson went with Ray's
    (I really like Ray's suggestion, Seamless Integration of OpenOffice.org with Mac OS X)
  5. Shorten it a bit
    1. Move good bits from Open Source section elsewhere and delete section, or move random bits to that section and strengthen it (i.e., make the intro pgh, well, a pgh.)
    2. Streamline Office features section a bit more

--Waldo 03:08, 8 Jun 2005 (CDT) Why shorten it? Compress it and make it as streamlined as possible. But don't get rid of good info if you don't have to...

  1. Final proofing for typos, spelling, grammar, consistent usage of ®, etc.
    Note the general PR rule seems to be to use the ® (in our case) sign with your trademarks but leave all marks off other companies' products and simply use the "other company and product names" sentence--don't have to worry about verifying whose trademarks are which kind and what is trademarked and not and so forth....

Please add any additional "blockers" to this list.

«NeoOffice®/J er en frittstående, dobbel-klikkbar Mac programvare og behøver IKKE X11 programvare i tillegg,» forteller sjefsutvikler og grunnlegger av NeoOffice.org, Ed Peterlin. «Vårt mål har alltid vært å gjøre NeoOffice®/J 100% umulig å skille fra annen Macintosh programvare i utseende og følelse. Versjon 1.1 er et stort skritt i riktig retning.»

En fullstendig programvarepakke til kontorbruk

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

--Ovvldc 04:52, 26 Apr 2005 (CDT) fixed to match the latest draft. Better text, maybe too many 'Mac OS X' in the second paragraph.
