	Great - where is your source code out of interest ? :-)

	It should not have been. One thing to bear in mind is that our xcu
(configuration data) parser is a lot stricter, so you need well formed
XML that matches the schema (which was not true in older versions). But
if you get that right things should be ok I hope.

	Assume that the docs are the same as before I guess, but they are here:

	http://api.libreoffice.org/

	bug reports / patches to the docs much appreciated.

	The bean should still exist, is still packaged, etc. There are a few
reports of problems with it, again fixes appreciated for that.

	Not that clear what you want, you want mail-merge ? if so, you'd want
to provide something that looked like a database I suppose to provide
that.

> 4.        UNO Interface  - was it significantly changed?   

	In a nutshell we should be backwards compatible with OpenOffice.org -
at least, this is what we try to be. Of course, there are always bugs we
need to find out :-)

	Hope that helps !
