Can someone explain to me which "Version" of OO we have here in GG.

I always assumed its from the openoffice.org site. But I fell upon an article just now about a site http://go-oo.org that disagreed with Suns perspective and added other things like MS works import and others like VBA.

Now my windwos pc has the "official" version and does not have these bits in it, but my GG version has Works import, T602 import etc.

I never knew until now about these added facilities especially VBA for me. And i've been ignoring some things I wanted to do because I just assumed it was missing!

Can someone enlighten me onto what we have here?

Thats sounds about right.

It was nice to find the other site though, cos it has stuff in for a windows download that my work place can use.

Gutsy will have the latest stable version 2.3. Basically the one from the site although I'm pretty sure there's been a few customizations added. As for that other version you linked to, they didn't exactly disagree with Sun. It's more of a cutting edge development version that has features that were not accepted upstream yet. That doesn't mean they won't be accepted at all though.

If I am not mistaken, Ubuntu packages a customized OO.org that contains many of the Novell additions (VBA macros and stuff like that). So this would be more similar to get-oo's OO rather than Sun's OO.

(These aren't 'forks', however - or at least no more than Ubuntu's kernel, Novell's kernel, Red Hat's kernel being forks of the Linux kernel.)

OOo is getting there slowly. I can see a more modular designed office suite replacing it in the next few years though. I like how they finally centred the page in the workspace.
