Hello,
I have been assigned the task of evaluating and deploying OpenOffice for several clients. I just read eWeek Labs article "OpenOffice sports all-around improvements". I'd like to ask several questions, if I may:

1. What test do you use to test the performance of OpenOffice?

2. How do you go about testing each application of OpenOffice??

3. What are the "best" practice methods for evaluating OpenOffice???

ANY information you provide, I'd be most "Thankful"...

Thank you,

If that's the case, be sure you search the web for known incompatibilities between the suites. These may include formatting and macro incompatibilities. If you have any Office "power users", get some of them involved. Test some of the more complicated (formulas, macros, formatting, cross-links, etc.) files in the appropriate OpenOffice.org suite. (That's the full name of the package; the '.org' really is part of the name. It's often abbreviated OOo or OO.o)

You can probably find some white papers to assist with the testing. Start at www.openoffice.org

The goal is to replace MS-Office, but not at the price of productivity... I have downloaded plenty of documentation, other than "company" power users, is there a venue where I can post results for feedback...
