FWIW, It's been that way for over a month - I hadn't realised it was that big a deal (I would imagine that Ed posted it).
Btw, something that occurred to me the other day... what is the prospect of getting NO/J posted at Sourceforge, or is it already there? Wouldn't they seed it to their servers for downloading or am I misunderstanding how the site works?

Oh, I wrote that a month ago or so. I got the greenlight to add Neo/J references to the OOo site. I haven't had the time to polish up and deliver the development pages yet, so only the download page is complete. It was figured to be a good read by myself and the OOo community.

You usually sign/date pages when you update them there, so that was a bit of confusion. But I'm really glad Louis (and by extension the entire Neo subcommunity of OOo) won out over the naysayers. People deserve to know there's a choice and depending on their needs/skill level, one might be better than the other for them.
And since it happened a month ago, I guess we've avoided further flamewars....

A mention on the dev page, too? Great!

I don't understand that sentence at all, either alone or in the context of the rest of your post

Oh, a "good read" in the sense that it was thought to be balanced and really summarize the reasons for both to exist. No one felt shafted
The dev pages I just haven't finished writing yet. I'm hoping to explain why the dev practices are the way they are and point developers in the right direction to where their skills are the most useful and to why the technologies used are what they are.
