Wonderful suggestion, however 1.1.5 is still needed for that small 
audience that cannot run OOo 2.0 for various reasons.  I suggested that 
we merge out the 1.1 series and move on to 2.0 a while ago and this was 
brought to my attention.

Here is what I propose.  We work on and fix as much of the problems with 
the 1.1 series.  At that time, we place it into maintenance mode.  This 
should not take very long, as most of the 'bugs' have proposed 
solutions.  We need to get them into test builds, QA'd and back into the 
Master Work Space.  Then we move onto 2.0 and get it out of beta and 
into release candidate mode.  There are notable problems building 1.1.5 
on MacOSX Tiger that have NOT been merged back into the master through 
child work spaces.   These fixes may help the effort to get 2.0 'ready 
for prime time'.

As you can tell, I partially agree with you and we should tone down the 
efforts taken on OOo 1.1 and ramp up action on OO 2.0.
