OpenOffice 3.3 A Glimpse

OpenOffice.org 3.3 will be the third release since Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in January 2010. The first two releases, versions 3.2 and 3.21, were both relatively minor, and judging from the just-released beta, 3.3 looks like more of the same.

The motto for the 3.3 release is "Fit and Trim." The phrase is vague, but suggests a concern with interface improvements. This impression is reinforced by the first item on the features list, which is "First Achievements of the Renaissance Project," an OpenOffice.org sub-project focused on improving the interface. Further confirmation, if any is needed, is provided by the fact that only a few new features are scheduled and the rest are enhancements of existing features.
