== The Word Is Heard (or: "Gentlemen: I give you - OOGS!")
<nitpick>What is the second O for?</nitpick>
'Open Office Groupware Standard' as in an 'Office Groupware Standard'
(OGS) that is open? But that's just my guess.
It's a recursive acronym in the same way that GNU and TINT are recursive
acronyms.
Like, GNU stands for Gnu's Not Unix.
similarly: OOGS:
OOGS is
Open
Groupware
Standards
... OOGS.
Thus the "extra" O :-)
Also, "Groupware" is one word AFAIK so no W in my version. Plus, "OOGS"
is pronounceable, vs. OGWS. OGS is pronounceable, but it doesn't have
the cool FSF-ish recursive anagram :-)
