Current menu entries are: Office/OpenOffice.org 1.9 Base Office/OpenOffice.org 1.9 Calc Office/OpenOffice.org 1.9 Draw Office/OpenOffice.org 1.9 Impress Office/OpenOffice.org 1.9 Math Office/OpenOffice.org 1.9 Writer We should at least get rid of the version number. Bryan and Seth will have other suggestions, no doubt

Why kill the database gui from the menu ?. It's trying to be a "msaccess" style replacement ?
version no removed in 1.9.97-3. If the menu entry for the database GUI is considered problematic, best open a new bug against ooo for it.
That's for the database? /me blinks can we call it Database or will it be recognized more by it's Base name?
That's the brandname of the application, "base", same as "access" is the same microsoft's database gui. we can change it in the menu entry of course a generic name of "database" or whatever, but the documentation refers to it as "base" etc etc.
Talked with Seth about this one, let's go with Database even though the documentation says base.
We should really just rename all this stuff. 1) We should drop the "OpenOffice.org" word. This is effectively a "company name", and as per GNOME HIG guidelines, should not be included in menu entries. It doesn't assist people in making the "which thing to click" decision task, and there'
argh, comment was randomly closed (?!?) 2) We should consider rennaming the actual menu entries to be more descriptive. e.g. "Word Processor" instead of "Write". "Spreadsheet" instead of "Calc". This is also as per HIG, and is the preferred naming scheme for "default" things. Alternatively, we *could* do "Calc Spreadsheet"... but I think this is sort of sucky.
OK, Bryan and I talked it through and came up with something like this for the menu entry text: "Word Processor" "Spreadsheet" "Presentation" "Database Development" I'm not so happy with "Presentation", but its at least better than "Impress". Also, we probably sholudn't include Database in the default install (though it should be an Optional item in the Office/Productivity installer category, so its easy to turn on at first time install if you want it)
