Description

In OpenOffice.org, everything is project. And all websites starts using the rule : http://$(project).OpenOffice.org

e.g. : http://education.openoffice.org

At this point in time, this is an incubator project. This means that we have just begun and there is a lot more to do before attaining the status of a Project.
