NeoOffice 2.2.1 for Mac OS X is available to the world starting today. (Slashdot also picks up the release.)

The project site announces “This release is based on the OpenOffice.org 2.2.1 code and includes all of the new OpenOffice.org 2.2.1 features. NeoOffice 2.2.1 can be downloaded here.”

NeoOffice is based on OpenOffice.org, but unfortunately there have been disagreements between the two projects. The official OOo Mac porting project has picked up a lot of steam recently, and has received fulltime employees paid by Sun, so if I can speak for the wider community, all we want is for these two projects to carry on amicably. While they have different goals and purposes, there is still a lot of common ground on which I personally would like to see ongoing collaboration.

Congratulations to the NeoOffice team for today’s release!
