As mentioned in the initial post for oo2, I was waiting for feedback on the tcel extension to know if any modifications were neccessary before submitting a tczl extension...

i'm sorry, i try to read every post, but i just don't remember seeing that one. i'll install it and see what i can tell you about it. one of the main things i would use oo2 for is creating a pdf file.
edit: i installed it with libxml, expat, and fontconfig. i think that's enough for write to open and be useful (but first it reports incompatibility with locale en_US, perhaps because i didn't install the rest.)
i was able to type, spellcheck, insert an image, save, load, and export to pdf. more an issue with xpdf than write, but xpdf did not display the "hello" i typed for line 1. is that because it's the first line on the first page or because xpdf won't show any text? not your problem.
i do know the text displayed properly in epdfview, and in both epdfview and xpdf, the picture (just a screen cap made from the tc menu) displayed in both viewers. this is so preferable to using oo in xubuntu, thank you so much for this. if i can't display any text exported to pdf (in xpdf) i'll report it as an xpdf bug, but i'd like to wait for the tcz.

There's got to be several lower bandwidth alternatives to making a pdf file than oo2 - cups, gs, gimp...

not for tc, and not that i've seen in any other distro (not that i've looked.) i love lower bandwidth stuff, that's why i always wanted dsl to be more like tc (before i'd ever heard of tc.) actually i'm in dsl right now, i wanted to help someone figure out a dsl task, and it's actually very nice. give it a week or two, i'd be trying to make it like tc again. in xubuntu, i've replaced xfce with jwm, thunar with xfe, mousepad with leafpad, and even removed usplash.
lower bandwidth solutions aren't always the best ones. i think they are for most people, most of the time, but i'm very glad that oo exists even though i'd rather something like abiword. my experience with abiword from distro to distro is it needs to be forked into a project that focuses on making it more reliable. great idea, but the implementation...
the way you did oo is low-bandwidth (for oo.) and that's the only way i'd want to use it, mostly for pdf's, but not only. i don't feel like creating pdf's via scripting, if that's one of the solutions. i avoid cups, and i doubt i'd want to use gimp to turn a book or essay into a pdf.
pema:
Would it be possible adding qtstalker ? Program for analysis of stock and bonds.
Maybe midbrowser could be a good webbrowser for tcl, works very neat in xubuntu 8.10.
