Good idea, Louis and Russell, how can this best be promoted on OO.o?
Also, how can we get this to ship by default with OO.o? Or, is that more

I know the OO.o packager for gentoo, so could ask there, but lets find
out best approach on plugin inclusion...
Do plugins for OO.o sometimes get pulled into the core app? Or ship with
the releases?
