Thursday May 19, 2005 Spotlight on NeoOffice/J
NeoOffice/J is an Openoffice.org implementation that runs on the Mac. It's main goal is to run on the Mac platform without requiring the use of X11. It is very succesful so far in this goal, and it is nearing the official release of it's 1.1 version.A very pleasant surprise on the 1.1RC patch 4 is support for Apple's Spotlight technology. As a result, you can now search for NeoOffice/OpenOffice/StarOffice documents stored on your hard drive and locate them like you would any other Mac document. This is really, really cool :)
Much thanks to Patrick Luby, Edward Peterlin and the other developers involved in this project.
