[Foresight-distro] Re: Gnome Office for Foresight's default office suite

[Paul Cutler]

I agree that OOo doesn't need to be installed by default, GNOME office is a
good alternative.  With our focus on being GNOME-centric and being
localised, having OOo available through Conary should meet the needs of
those users who need it.  Abiword and and Gnumeric will meet the needs of
most users.
