OpenOffice-Fu

So now that things are looking rather stable on Ubuntu, I figure I’d get cozy with OpenOffice.org.  I currently have 2.3 installed and the OxygenOffice extensions added to it.  So far, I’m a happy camper.  I think the big test will come when I try to write a longer document like a research paper or something in Writer and migrate my master budget spreadsheet over to it.  At any rate, I can already see why Microsoft must be shaking in their boots.  They’re under siege by two competitors (OO.org and Goog docs) that are both free and for the most part, get the job done.  I’d really love to see some sort of syncing between OO and Goog docs though.  Not sure how this would work, but I do know that I need something offline for Goog docs and hope they figure out something soon (gears, anyone?).
