最高の，を越すQuestion: What is OpenOffice.org 1.0 X11 for Mac OS X and Darwin (Final Beta)?
Answer: Today's 解放（する） of the ソフトウェア will be followed closely by the 十分な OpenOffice.org 1.0 X11 for Mac OS X and Darwin (Final) 解放（する）. In the 暫定的な, the Final Beta 解放（する） is ーするつもりであるd for general public 消費 to help the OpenOffice.org team 直す／買収する，八百長をする bugs before the 1.0 X11 (Final) 見解／翻訳／版 is 解放（する）d. The X11 Final Beta still 要求するs the XWindows windowing system from the XFree86 事業／計画（する）.
Work will be 現在進行中の to create a stable, bug-解放する／自由な port based on OpenOffice.org 1.0.1 (and later 1.1), which will 含む both the XWindows 見解／翻訳／版 and a Mac OS X Quartz/Aqua graphics 見解／翻訳／版, but more developers are needed. Everyone is 招待するd to join the 事業／計画（する） and lend a 手渡す! 最高の，を越すQuestion: What does the X11 graphics mean?
Answer: The XWindow System, 見解／翻訳／版 X11R6, is a 始める，決める of libraries and programs that 器具／実施する 核心 構成要素s of a Graphical 使用者 Interface. As a Unix 基準, the XWindow system is その結果 able to run on Apple's Mac OS X and its Darwin 核心, 供給するing the base for OpenOffice.org 1.0 X11 for Mac OS X and Darwin (Final Beta). The XWindow System is hugely popular with Unix and Linux operating systems, and that support was てこ入れ／借入資本d to create the 見解／翻訳／版 of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X and Darwin 解放（する）d today.

First, the OpenOffice.org Mac OS X/Darwin porting team is scheduled to 解放（する） an OpenOffice.org 1.0 X11 for Mac OS X and Darwin (Final) 見解／翻訳／版 in Spring 2003. This 解放（する） will still 要求する ソフトウェア from the XFree86 事業／計画（する） to run, 特に the XWindows windowing system, but will be a 十分な, final, 生産／産物 解放（する） of the OpenOffice.org 1.0 office 控訴 for Mac OS X and Darwin.
For the 十分な Mac OS X native, Aquafied 見解／翻訳／版 of OpenOffice.org with a Mac look & feel, there is no 始める，決める 解放（する） date since it depends on the help 利用できる. The more developers that join the porting team to work on the OpenOffice.org Mac OS X and Darwin ports, the quicker 開発 will proceed. Even after 開発 is 完全にする there will still need to be 実験（する）ing, bug 直す／買収する，八百長をするing, internationalization, and other 仕事s such as authoring of end-使用者 documentation. However, 進歩 is 存在 made and help is needed to reach this goal more quickly.
最高の，を越すQuestion: How can I help the OpenOffice.org Mac OS X/Darwin porting team?

It is also ーするつもりであるd to show developers and 使用者s the 可能性のある of the OpenOffice.org 控訴 and to attract 利益／興味 in finishing the Mac OS X and Darwin ports. Also, the Aqua interface 見解／翻訳／版 is not 利用できる at this time as it is 現在／一般に under 激しい 開発. The Mac OS X/Darwin porting team hopes that 利益／興味d developers will join up with the team to finish the 行方不明の parts of the Mac OS X and Darwin ports.
最高の，を越すQuestion: When will an Aqua 見解／翻訳／版 be 利用できる?

最高の，を越すQuestion: Will OpenOffice.org 1.0 run on OS 9 and earlier operating systems?
Answer: No, it will not. The 現在の Macintosh porting 成果／努力 for OpenOffice.org is 的ing Mac OS X v10.1 and higher. There is no porting team working on support for older operating systems. Because of the technical differences between OS X and older operating systems and how they are used in the porting code, older Mac OS 解放（する）s are essentially a different operating system for the 目的s of the OpenOffice.org source code. Supporting OS 9 and earlier 解放（する）s would 要求する a second porting team to start from scratch. There are no 計画（する）s to create an OS 9 porting team at this time.
最高の，を越すQuestion: What support is 申し込む／申し出d with the OpenOffice.org 1.0 X11 for Mac OS X and Darwin (Final Beta)?

Developer Questions
Question: From a developer's 見地, what needs to be done with OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X/Darwin?
Answer: There are a number of modules and 機能（する）／行事s of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X/Darwin that either are incomplete in 実施 or 完全に 欠如（する）ing 実施. For example, the Aqua interface 実施 is 大部分は incomplete.

Answer: The build 過程 伴う／関わるs 激しい use of 爆撃する scripts and makefiles, relying on Apple's developer 道具s, the Mac OS X/Darwin BSD 層, and other open source 開発 ソフトウェア. The compiler 現在／一般に in use is Apple's 見解／翻訳／版 of gcc2, and all debugging must be done from the 命令（する） line with gdb. Build support for gcc3 is still in 進歩 at this time.
最高の，を越すQuestion: If I want to help or 与える／捧げる patches, whom should I 接触する?
Answer: The best thing to do is to join up with the Porting 事業／計画（する） of OpenOffice.org (http://porting.openoffice.org) and subscribe to the mailing 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）s there. The 現在の Mac OS X/Darwin 開発 team reads those 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）s and 答える／応じるs to questions 地位，任命するd there. For patches over 10 lines of code, the author must have 調印するd the 共同の Copyright 協定 (JCA) and とじ込み／提出するd it with the OpenOffice.org 事業／計画（する）.

最高の，を越すQuestion: What 肉親，親類d of 金物類／武器類 does a developer need to work on the OS X OpenOffice.org port?
Answer: The best you can get your 手渡すs on. OpenOffice.org is a large and コンビナート／複合体 事業／計画（する）. To get reasonable 業績／成果 while building and debugging, developers should probably have a G4-based Macintosh running Mac OS X v10.1 or higher. It is recommended that the machine have at least 300 MB of RAM and 3GB of 解放する／自由な hard disk space to 成し遂げる a build. Developers can probably work on the port with older 金物類／武器類 but it will 要求する やめる a bit of patience. Still, a 十分な 収集する of the source code takes about 12 - 16 hours on 急速な／放蕩な machines.
