[Open Office] Mono Bridge to OpenOffice.org

[Daniel Morgan]

Hello Rene,

I would love to see the Mono Bridge available for
OpenOffice.org for Ubuntu.  Contrib sounds good.  Not
sure what that means or how to access this.  :-)

I just know I was really impressed by the Ubuntu 6.06
Live CD.  I used apt-get to get and install various
software on my computer, such as, Oracle 10g Express
Edition.  I was amazed how simple it was. 

I'm not sure how to convince you.  But, I am willing
to help though.  If the only way to get it is to build
OpenOffice.org, then that is what I must do.  I'm
scared I might not succeed in compiling such an animal
though since OOo has so many dependencies.

Thanks though,
Daniel
