This is a first cut and there are some limitations (no Java so some import/exports and other features aren't supported, and it's i386-only for now). And it's not built by default (hey, it takes about 6 hours to build). But it's in. And that marks an important tipping point toward "feature completeness" for ports/packages in our favorite OS.
Update:
To have OpenOffice.Org on the amd64 architecture too, please help getting an amd64
build box. For further information please visit http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=115584969000366&w=2
Thank you for your help!

I think this is great news! There was a great jump in acceptance when they got the native Firefox port/package. Now maybe in time we'll have a native Java, although I suppose it is too much to expect an Acrobat Reader. I love reading my corporate Exchange via FF-OpenBSD, since I have fewer concerns about getting infected with a MS virus.
I think I'll get OpenOffice and check it out.

The ports tree is in soft-lock. OOo Packages will not be built until it is connected to the build. And even then, it'll take a while for a full build to finish and be uploaded to the servers.

I mean it was a terrific application for it's time, but OpenOffice has surpassed it.
Obviously OpenBSD is more focused on being a solid server platform, but it
would be terrific to be able to run OpenOffice.
On a related note, and more focused on the target sector:
Can/could Oracle XE run on OpenBSD under linux emulation?
AllanI read no a while back. That would be terrific.
