I think this one did go over the line.

The press release caused me to go out and download the software and give it a try. Indeed they have a LONG way to go for this software to even install on a normal distribution.

The project uses some "not so normal" tools, i.e. objective C and the GNUStep environment that make even compiling from source difficult.

At the same time, the folks at OGo are trying REAL HARD to support people and fix problems. I imagine they have come farther in the last few days than in the last few months of development just because the software was exposed to environments outside the developer's machine!

So - I think the initial article is essentially correct, yet given a little bit of time the OGo suite will become quite useful!
