Hi
It's version 1.1, but Fedora left out all the java access bridge stuff. Even if you install the gnome java bridge, you're not gonna get a response from the 
openoffice distributed with fedora. I believe this was probably done due to the lack of sun's JRE in fedora, which makes sense from a technical and distribution 
standpoint: why include something that depends on non-included software? Blind users not having access, I think, was just an unfortunate side effect. You will 
need to download openoffice.org from the website and install it yourself.
I do wonder why fedora didn't get permission from SUN to distribute their j2sdk or JRE, so far slackware is the only distro I know of to include it... and if anyone 
has managed to get the openoffice in fedora to work with gnopernicus, please let us in on the secret.
