Gobe Productive goes GPL and GNOME!

[Daniel Borgmann <daniel liebesgedichte net>]

Hello list, 

I found this news to be quite exciting: 
http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1520

This basically means that we will get another popular Office suite
opensourced, but this time the Linuxversion actually builds on GNOME
libs! Also GP is not huge and slow like StarOffice, it actually fits
into a 12 MB tarball. An early alphabuild of the GNOME version is also
available (I didn't tried it yet though as I'm no office user). 

It will be interesting to see if this will make parts of GNOME Office
obsolete (or the other way around). At the very least, compatibility
should be ensured of course. This could be a _huge_ kickstart for GNOME
Office, maybe even more. What do you think?
