oooh! Perty!
Really nice work! I am beginning to wonder what you and Pat are up to.. Secretly planning to kill MS Word and Pages by a single Alpha release or something.
Actually I will be very happy if you would make me a file selector looking like that which also filters files (.hidden_file) and folders (name.app) like a proper mac.
Three cheers,
Oscar

Right now, there are some issues that Patrick has to address before the product will go out in Alpha status. Be paitent, this will happen soon if we help Patrick (unabashed plug for donations follows)
Unlike most of us, Patrick relies on donations to support the NeoOffice.org project. If you want Patrick to continue the 70+ hour per week NeoOffice development, then please find it within your heart and wallet to donate. I help Patrick by doing 'sanity' checks and builds on Tiger as Patrick works solely with Panther. I have found, in the past, issues with Tiger that did not appear on Panther and the other way round. This takes up many hours of my free time, which could be spent doing other things. However, I find that the NeoOffice.org project is very worthy of my time.

Hmm... The request for GUI-native open/save dialogs is a good one. Has anyone looked to see if there's a bug report filed for this with the upstream source? (OpenOffice.org)
Couldn't find one, but my query skills are lacking.

For native open/save dialogs, see the native file picker doc from my old decrept specs page. It's still a lower priority on my radar and I've already got a full plate.
NWF will not be included in 2.0. Too unstable. It will have a separate alpha/beta/final test cycle separate from the mainline.

Oh, SHIT!
We have a crisis situation here people!
We need to arrange for a truck to drop off at Ed's place.
Maybe even TWO trucks.

Whomever comes needs to bring a funnel as well. Perhaps a few feet of plastic tubing too for kicks.

There's a thread around here from not "too" long ago where Ed and Patrick discuss the difficulties with implementing the native filepickers...it's not that hooking up the native ones is difficult per se, but making them do all the things that the OOo filepicker needs to do, the custom options, etc....

Ouch  I didn't expect them in Alpha 1, but I figured maybe we'd get something by Alpha 2 and then everything would be happy by the time we got to Neo 2 final, a la NMF in 1.1 Oh well. I can live.

Well, it comes down to priorities. Remember, the #1 goal that Patrick and I have is to keep our final releases rock solid. They're deployed not only by regular users but also large companies, universities, government agencies, and the like. There's already a lot changing with 2.0 without the new weapons. That stuff needs to stabilize on its own. Likewise, the NWF stuff needs its own time to stabilize and get tested for not only UI bugs but also memory leaks, performance, forms, etc.
Not to mention get finished too. Right now all that's being accomplished are the simple controls. The more complex controls (e.g. scrollbars, tabs, rulers, toolbars) will take much much longer.
