GNOME Office

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GNOME Office is a free software office suite for GNOME which consists of:

• AbiWord word processor
• Gnumeric spreadsheet
• GNOME-DB, software that provides database connectivity.

The Ubuntu 6.10 documentation also includes the following as part of the GNOME Office product suite:

• Dia, a diagram editor
• Inkscape, a vector graphics editor
• The GIMP, the classic image editor
• Planner, a project management solution

The integration between the various applications in the suite is rather loose, and therefore many consider GNOME Office to be merely the collection of desktop productivity applications written for the GNOME environment rather than an office suite in the usual sense. Integration is achieved chiefly through the Bonobo component technology.
