For more information about 1.1 see http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/1.1beta/index.html These packages are not yet polished with all features from the 1.0.x packages, but the majority of the functionality is in place. OpenOffice.org 1.1 needs YOU! http://kegel.com/openoffice Please use the opportunity to test out 1.1 and find out what still needs work for the final release. If you think you have found a problem, or would like to see something improved for 1.1, visit the link above for lots of helpful information. The Debian team will try to deal with problems with the packages themselves, but we'd appreciate it if upstream problems can be sent there directly. Chris Halls Debian OpenOffice.org team
