It seems TUCOWS owns GnomeOffice.com
I've been tempted to buy gnomeoffice.org but I think that we
should have http://gnome.org/gnomeoffice working (usually you need
http://gnome.org/gnome-office) or alternatively we should have
http://office.gnome.org or http://gnomeoffice.gnome.org because frankly
paying for extra top level domains is the kind of stupidity we expect from
clueless commercial ventures.

you could just purchase it and point it at
http://www.gnome.org/gnome-office/

an interesting and dynamic idea and I'm a sucker for cross platform (even
though Gnome Office already works on a variety of POSIX compliant
operating systems I know what you mean).
