Some one suggested changing Writer to Write, I like that.  I would agree 
that Impress is a very poor name for the presentation module, I would 
suggest Present.  It is far more to the point of what it actually is 
for.  I Particularly think Calc is bad because it is too easy to confuse 
with Math.  I think Spread would be better, or even Spreadsheet.  Why be 
obtuse.  I like Draw and Base, they tell precisely what these modules 
actually are, I think Math would be better called Formula, it is much 
more accurately to the point.    It has been mentioned that LO is NOT 
OOo, and will be less and less so as time goes on, it would be a good 
idea to change these names by the second actual release (non beta) at 
the latest to help distinguish the two.
