are you gonna keep up with the 15-day release cycle of mer? or is there a way to update the packages w/o losing functionality?

Hi Qole, do you have time to report if ooo3 is quicker than ooo2.41 in starting? Thanks

Most of the Mer development effort is going into things that aren't terribly relevant to my project, so I don't expect to see huge benefits with keeping current...
EDIT: Looks like I'm skipping 0.9 and I'll be waiting for Mer 0.10, since Stskeeps suggests that they'll begin integrating the Alpha SDK2 into that release...

I use your Easy-Debian Turbo and I like to keep it updated.
Abt 1 week ago I updated 2.4 to 3 and everything was messed up.
I could't start OpenOffice at all.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but the new packages were only for 3 so again , no luck.
So I had to download Easy Debian again and update all packages exept Open Office.
So please try to accomodate Open Office 3.
Stanul: Please explain why you want 3.0; is there a feature in the new version that is missing from the older version?

One problem, upon launching how can we get ooo3 to display an icon on the taskbar? With Abiword there's no problem, it puts an icon on the taskbar ok.
Between Abiword and OOO3, the latter appears a lot quicker and stable at editing large docs, say 30pages.
How come, Abiword is able to use the [hildon input method] virtual keyboard and OOO3 doesn't?

OpenOffice needs at least the GTK package installed, possibly the Gnome package. You'll notice that I have everything working in Easy Debian, so it can be done.

UPDATE: I dumped neatojones' E17 packages into my repository, and I've posted my install notes here.
