Derek do you know if GNUe is available from any servers that yum can
point to? Creating lables in openoffice from any jdbc, ldap, mozilla,
evolution or odbc connection is a snap. However this is an area I'm not
sure mozilla could duplicate on its own (at least I'm not aware of any
label making projects). But if someone is interested in learning to
write mozilla applications this would proably be an easy one. (hint,
hint). Since I'm getting married in about 3 weeks I couldn't really help
out in the short term but in about a month / month 1/2 if anyone wanted
to pursue this project let me know and I'd be available for help.
