- Looking forward to OpenOffice.org 2.0 Joe Brockmeier, 5 Jan 2003, Linux Weekly News From a test of the 1.9.65 build, it's pretty clear that the OpenOffice.org project has a way to go before it's finished. However, this release does provide a pretty good overview of what to expect, and it does look like 2.0 will be a formidable suite when finished.
