Seems as though there are some rumblings over at OpenOffice.org. They have put up a PDF document they are calling a ‘Roadmap’, but doesn’t appear to contain any schedule information other than that it is a roadmap ‘through December 2001’. It would appear then that a major release date announcement is not forthcoming. It does contain an impressive list of improvements to the old StarOffice code base including standard XML formats for all file categories: spreadsheet word processing, presentation, etc. There’s also some just posted screenshots of build 625.
