I'm mainly I focussing on startup at the moment, I believe the libreOffice guys have their hands full with a more productive task if implementing features. I think they are approaching things from a different perspective to me: I'm interested in how it all hangs together, they want to work on things that give them the most bang or buck.

And that's sensible, and very fair, given limited man-power :-) no to mention I'm doing what I'm attempting is a part time hobby!

Incidentally, look at OpenOffice's info:

Thanks. I'll keep digging. If you want to socialize your notes, or need a proof-reader, I'll be around!
