What is wrong ?

Yes, a code for the ARM port has been donated, and I added, by  
EducOOo, because I mostly work for EducOOo.


But the important fact, is I'm proud to donate code to  
OpenOffice.org : since years, Sun engineers, never refused to help  
me, and I honestly think what I propose will help.
And I never wrote I did the port. But writing the assembler part does  
really concern porting.


Anyway, the current port is sub-optimal, and I wonder why you react  
so violently ?


> Stop your propaganda, please.


Wow ..  :-)


This is not propaganda : I spent 3 weeks to discover the BeagleBoard,  
and several day to learn how things work, the most critical part  
being the current interlock part, I wrote in asembler.
Since I do not want to spend my time with useless discussion, I'll  
copy-paste the IRC discussion we had, to inform people, and show I'm  
not what you described.


To avoid spamming the list with the discussion, please read (in the  
case you are interested :

Because I'd like to inform people the ARM port is extremely  
important.  Like I did when I explained Mac OS X port was a 15  
millions of potential users port, some years ago.

And I was right.
