That's a pretty big document viewer! 
Do you think there's any way of stripping it down further?
What about using AbiWord's conversion library, wvWare? That's gotta be smaller, although it only does Word docs...
EDIT: Looks like they say you should use AbiWord to do it, "AbiWord --to=pdf" ... probably not enough of a size reduction (since it can only convert Word) to warrant a move away from OOo...
Still, a very cool idea...

/apps/owopen/viewer

Do you mean is it possible to run openoffice.org (complete, not stripped) inside maemo, without chrooting? Very nice! Can publish the unstripped version please?

I'm not sure if it will work without problems. Currently i'm using only the content of /usr/lib/openoffice, with 3 added libs which maemo doesn't have. They are major ones and I really doubt it will be possible to be mixed with the maemo ones and to run it with a theme and so on. You can try it right now if you want.
It really should be rebuilt for maemo.

Any updates on this? I would really love a document viewer for my N810. I don't care so much about editing, but a (light) viewer that really works would be great

So here it goes...
After Ubuntu-MID got released, i snatched a VM and ran it to see what it is like. Turned out not very good, but that's not the point. The point was that i saw a document reader among the apps, which opened MS documents (doc, xls, ppt and such) almost without any effort (of course that's a kvm to you
I packaged it along with the OOo (which i think is LGPL), if someone sees a license issue - please notify me.
Also - no mime types for the browser, use pipeline's utility to do it, until i learn how to do it with dbus.
If you want to start the office, use this:
I intend to bring this thing even further, i'll explain how in the following days.

57MB/156MB
Just to make it clear - it takes 20+ seconds to convert the file, so be patient.
