He sounds like he could use some help.

How many of us would like to pitch in?  I'm gonna...

| Sorry for my possible silence - OpenOffice FBSD port now under active

| 
| Currently we don't needs hardware support - our computers is not so bad,

| 
| So - all porters are welcome, but IMHO alpha quality of OO itself and
| pre-pre-alpha quality of FBSD port makes no sense to recruite testers.
| May be after three-four month...
