GNOME Office
GNOME Office is a meta-project, with the mission to coordinate productivity applications for the GNOME Desktop . We intend to produce a productivity suite composed of entirely free software .
The GNOME office suite is not defined by an arbitrary, fixed number of applications. Rather, the suite is defined by our underlying technologies , most notably the libraries these applications share and our component architecture, Bonobo . By permitting multiple applications in several categories, users can select the application most suited to their needs.
