It looks like they actually talked to/emailed you and Dan--the quotes are new to me (Patrick's looks it was taken from his email to dev@porting)--so by doing even the most infintesimal bit of homework it puts them leaps and bounds ahead of /.
One could argue a bit about the connotation of the first sentence and part of the second, but yeah, good

It's a real shame that this has just appeared on MacFixit without mention of the working alternative:
| Quote: | Mac OS X native OpenOffice no longer pursued
eWeek reports that developers of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X are no longer pursuing a native Aqua port of the open-source Office-compatible suite. "The developer group said that it has been more than 18 months since the last engineering work on porting OpenOffice.org to Mac OS X's native Quartz/Aqua windowing system, and there are no plans to do so with the upcoming Version 2.0." |
Although it has a 'more' link to the eweek article, most people probably aren't going to click on it, and so won't find out about Neo/J.
