I though that feature was already present in Aqua Beta ?
That is correct. The feature was added in OOo 2.0.

True, and it's still not on the comparison list.
When I tell others about NeoOffice (OOo 2.x) I think this feature should be noted. Just like Printing to .PDF. These are features that cost extra in other Office Suites.
Just because it takes me a loooooooong time to make the suggest, doesn't mean that it isn't true!

FYI. I have posted the steps that Ed and I will use for merging the localized NeoOffice 2.1 press releases into our website so that the NeoWiki won't be killed if /. or any similar sites link to it. The steps are in the last task here.
I haven't had any time to work on a press release I can try to rework the 1.1 one for 2.1 this weekend, but I don't know what sort of time I will have
If you are too busy, Ed and I can just edit the NeoOffice 2.1 EA press release. It is short and not as nice as your press kit, but it will at least be there to handle the initial wave.
I just made a first pass at revising the 1.1 announcement for 2.1. A lot of it is the same, which is sort-of bad, but I'm not sure what to replace stuff with besides Aqua widgets and Intel....
I've made all of Patrick's changes, and Waldo appeared from the ether to help again
Text is still a little rough, but closer.
Also, I made Lorinda's changes to the Profiles in the Press Kit (and fixed a few things that needed fixing elsewhere in the Press Kit; otherwise it was mostly reusable); I think that everyone who has been very active on trinity and in Bugzilla is mentioned in the Support Team section. If I missed anyone, please let me know
I'm sorry I've been so busy lately and this has been all last-minute and rough

There are still a few areas I'd like to "refresh", but only the Open Source Development section should be considered in need of real work (in other words, if push comes to shove, we just remove the remaining "comments in brackets" in the other section, and only fix Open Source Dev).
So, if this is OK, let's do this:
1) Hope Waldo makes another appearance tonight to polish the text and/or other contributors do so, too
2) Anyone who wants to translate a version so that download.neooffice.org will have one in their language should begin translating
3) I'll hammer out final English text by about 2 PM EDT (GMT -4) and note the English text is frozen (hopefully that's before everyone in Europe is in bed)
4) Patrick can grab localized versions Sunday evening PDT

I've made my last changes to the Release Announcement and emailed Patrick to let him know to take a last look over the what I've done to his quotes
I'll go ahead and lock that page in a few minutes so it won't go changing on anyone anymore and will note on the page, and here, that it's frozen. Go ahead and make new pages for fr, it, es, nl, etc., versions, and I'll update the botlangbar links later today so Patrick can find them.
Similarly, I'm going to go ahead and lock the Press Kit and the Feature Comparison pages. Since those aren't going up on download.neo, we can continue to debate any changes, but at least this way the English versions stay stable for translation.
Thanks again to everyone for all the work on this, and I apologize for being so busy that this is all so last-minute this year

I've just changed a few thing on the Feature Comparison page (English) :
- odf-converter is no longer experimental (version 1.0 is available, and development is now focused on Excel and PowerPoint 2007);
- libwps is still experimental, so I've added some info in the notes (used the same note as for VBA);
- I added /en to the links > download.neooffice.org, since Safari loses the #installlanguages part when it loads the English page (seems to work in Camino though);
- I added a link to the odf-converter 1.0 release announcement, which claims that Excel & PowerPoint 2007 is currently scheduled for November 2007.
Edit : Smokey, could you edit the links so that they work in Safari ?

You shouldn't put the "en" reference as it defeats the purpose of having localized web pages. Also, the Safari problem with #installlanguages was solved a long time ago by using the following URL:

Ew, that's bad (Sorry, I edited those back before I came back over here)
Which is worse: sending everyone who reads the English page because there's not a Comparison page in their language (e.g., German) to the English version of Planamesa, or having Safari drop the #installlanguages for everyone reading the English page (Fr, It, Es, please do use the /fr/ url fragment)?
Edit: Patrick posted while I was writing. I'll fix that page to use the ?fragment= syntax. (One of us should report that bug over at webkit.org when we get a chance )

I can try to rework the 1.1 one for 2.1 this weekend, but I don't know what sort of time I will have
