@All

It's a huge task to port the whole OpenOffice bundle to the Amiga, as OpenOffice doesn't consist of ONE program, but several programs for drawing, writing, impression, calculation/math and something similar to Excel..

So it would mean that many more than just one person have to help porting such a great bundle..



It's true that JAVA is not really needed, but it might help in some situations...

Well, AmigaOne X1000 will open up a whole lot of new unique possibilities for the Amiga never ever seen before on the Amiga-platform, so yes!

Yes I do hope the AmigaONE-X1000 does generate some interest in former Amiga users and developers.

Of course not.

As MAP shows there is a massive buzz in the background we dont know anything about (well, most of us), but speculating over things we dont know is moot and will only lead to flame bating (as seen in the past)

i was merely stating my emotions

mho: i would rather see a good from scratch written word processor, but that, of course is just :mho

The very very little that is there is very very old.

This shows a link to http://amigaopenoffice.org/ and that web page gives a forbidden access error.

There is a bounty suggested for it here
http://amigabounty.net/?function=viewproject&projectid=45
but I guess no one has been interested in taking it on, as it's not progressed even to the "unassigned" status.

As I understood, there was a lot of work to be done to implement GTK2 on AmigaOS as a prerequisite for OpenOffice. I'm sure some people would want a more native Reaction or MUI version of OpenOffice to be created, and I'm not sure if the work in doing that fromt eh start is more or less than first doing GKT2, then a more direct OpenOffice port. And later after things work on GTK2, then perhaps converting from our own GTK2 to a more native Reaction/MUI implementation.

Perhaps at this point AmiCygnix could be used as a stepping stone until a mor enative AmigaOS version is done. I know he has ported some other open-source tools, but OpenOffice has more brand recognition from a somehat wider audience than Abiword or Gnumeric do, for better attention outside of our Amiga community.

A serious ton of work either way around.

And all that was for OOO 2.something. OOO is now close to releasing version 3.2. If anyone does pick up this huge project, I'd like to see it as recent OOO version as possible.

Also seems to only have sources for X86. That means xtra work.


A minor correction: OO exists for PPC macs, so the above is not correct.

Now that we have Blender, I vote for a native port of Gimp. Amiga was always a platform for Graphics not office, and we have already the possibility of using Abiword, Gnumeric and Pagestream. For presentations we have Hollywood and we are also covered as far as scheduling/mailing.
Or at least I hope that the latest version of Gimp (including the possibility to save in any format) gets ported to AmiCygnix as the actual one is useless.

Very interesting the information you provide, my friend

So, for making a magazine on the Amiga, i should use PageStream or Hollywood?

As far as I know, on a PPC Mac you have to run it under an X-Windows environment, so it doesn't run natively. It was with the move to X86 that it became native under Mac OSX

Pagestream is a powerful DTP application that has nothing to envy to other major programs, it is the perfect tool to create a magazine.

Hollywood can be used (among other things as it can be used for a lot more) to create interactive "Disk magazines", presentations or interactive information displays. It compiles the output so the productions can be used standalone!

AmiCygnix as a wrapper??

Personally, I'd love to see an OSX-PPC wrapper comparable to Wine on Linux as well.

I think that if we manage to get someone interested in OpenOffcie port, that we should require whatever current release is, not leave it at the ancient 2.0 version of OOO as mentioned on the port project site. If someone begins today, then do 3.2.

And AmigaOne X1000 and support for Multi-processing, Xena and things like JAVA, then i seriously think it will affect the interest greatly
