Try that again:
Things OOO does way better than anyone else:
*Format conversion
*PDF export
*Styles (word is awful at this)
*Graph anchoring
*Captions
*Floating frames

Things that should be improved:
*Speed. Its *much* slower than its counterparts
*Size: repo sizes are climbing, almost at a slow exponential. This is tricky, and only of moderate importance, but try doing a source compile -- not fun!

Things that should be considered extremely carefully:
*Linking between documents vs copying data -- too often (in other presentations too) someone brings a presentation via a USB key and references other work on their own computer, which it cant find. need ability to "compile" presentations
