Just poking my head into the list for a moment to encourage people to 
join in and support the OpenOffice.org project.  I'm in on it (always 
have my fingers in all the pies), as are some others here.  We need some 
good steady talent... generally more hands on deck.  The more Klingon 
proficiency you have, the better, but even if you're not an expert, 
there's still probably SOMETHING you can do.

OOo is a really nice hunk of software (I use it on occasions when I need 
a good word-processor or spreadsheet, etc... I try to avoid supporting 
the Redmond Empire...) and this could be another boost to Klingon's 
visibility.
