From this article:

"OpenOffice.org spokesman Sam Heiser told internetnews.com that the two most significant enhancements in version 1.1 of the suite are faster load times -- one of the primary criticisms of earlier versions of the suite -- and a modernized, contemporary look and feel."

I'll bet there are a few bug fixes as well, but this indicates to me that OpenOffice.org is pretty much feature complete. I could think of a few things to add, for example, I want a script L in the equation editor for laplace transforms....

You'll be glad to hear that this is in the works. The plan is for all of OpenOffice to be implemented in OOo's toolkit, and for that toolkit to have wrappers for whatever the native toolkit of each platform is.

The idea has some resemblance to how WxWindows works. It reduces duplication of work.

This, however, is a non-trivial task. I think it's planned for version 2.0.
