The GravityZoo OOo porting project

| When OpenOffice.org is "GravityZood", it will become a suite of
| productivity applications that are always available, online, via a broad
| range of devices. It will be possible to share and collaborate in
| real-time, to switch from one device (e.g. a PC) to another (Mobile)
| device. There will also be no need to save data, because everything you
| produce is saved automatically on the network. There is no need to
| download, install or update, the latest version is just available and
| accessible from any GravityZoo enabled client.
