Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my questions
Kohei. One last follow-up if you don't mind, then I'll go silent for a
while... ;)

Above you say that Novell provides a bunch of devs... I thouhght that
go-oo was the Novell 'alternate' branch... ? So Novell is supporting two
completely different alternative builds of ooo? Or, maybe its as simple
as go-oo releases are simply compiled builds of ooo-build branch?

Sorry for being dense, but I'd like to understand the relationship.

Incidentally - one of the reasons for my questions is, I got bit pretty
bad by a bug in one of the go-oo releases (not a beta or rc) - when we
tried to use our library of OOo based templates, they behaved in odd
ways - borders, tables - just lots of problems, mostly with writer
templates if I'm not mistaken, but it was well over a year ago.
