Anyone know anything about OpenSource Mac? I found it earlier today through MacSurfer.com (I think...).
Anyway, everyone's favourite office suite is listed along with AbiWord in the relevant section... I'm just about to mail them to get them to correct the name to NeoOffice (edit: and also to update the download link to planamesa from Macupdate.com). _________________ PBG4, 1.5GHz, SuperDrive, 1GB RAM, 128MB VRAM, 5400rpm 80GB HD, MacOS X 10.4.5
Cool. They apparently fixed the name, but not the download link. Bizarre!
Oh, I see; they think our download page is too confusing (psst, don't tell them that MacUpdate just links back to the download page!). Oddly enough, I don't think anyone (i.e., a real user) has ever complained about it before.
I can see their point, but our method (just like sourceforge) lets users choose a mirror close to them, and allows them to download the add-ons to the app relevant to them, not just an English-only app or a 400 MB compressed .dmg with everything.
Still, it's great seeing foxcorner's beautiful icon on such a clean page with all those other apps

I just checked the site and they are now linking to MacUpdate's download page which, in turn, links to the www.planamesa.org download page. So all is now well.
