	Ah - ok, that's fine then - as long as it's in the works we are happy
in ooo-build land :-)

	We don't say fork - it's a dirty word. It's a "holding ground for
patches on their way up-stream". As you try to get your work up-stream
you will realise what a total PITA Sun makes it - creating unnecessary
pain at every stage - have you seen the 'specification' writing
process ? - it has to be experienced to be believed. So - it doesn't
really integrate with the cws system at all.

	Anyhow - the punch line is that - you can ship in
Debian/[Open]SUSE/Gentoo/Ark/PLT/etc. etc. quickly while Sun stews in
their own juice ;-)

	Ah - please do contribute to the wiki - we're trying to migrate all the
hackers guides / cws docs etc. & build that out to:
http://go-oo.org/wiki/

	Heh :-)
