Does anyone know when Openoffice 3 will be available in Ubuntu Repositories?

[John Toliver]

I was excited about finally getting the super notes functionality.  I have
one database with some complex queries and reports based on them.  So far my
testing on windows with my database works.  I run my reports and everything
appears to be fine.  I was holding off until an official release.  I am
going to try and do an upgrade cycle from LTS to LTS so I really hope 3.0
gets backported to Hardy.

Based on what you said though, I may go ahead and upgrade to the RC3.0 and
be done with it.

I've discovered the key to success is to never give up.  You either learn
the right way, or you run out of ways to do it wrong.  A win/win situation!
