The ideas I haven't used (yet - I'm open to persuasion) are:

Novell OOo vs StarOffice  ... Novell OOo does have some significant
differences from OOo - it's never quite become a fork, but neither is it
the same product ... what do people think?

My suggestion does not come from the differences. Those are few. And will become even less, since VBA-interoperability efforts will be combined. My suggestion was from the point of view that companies who invest a lot in OOo, can be handled equally.

I've two resources that shine some light on this:
A very interasting mail from Bernd Eilers (cc), recently on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=59759

Allthough I've some questions about the statistics, it shows what we know: Sun does the most for development. For the current situation, one would like to have data showing what changed last year or so.
And - als mentioned by Bernd - it is rough material.

Another source: the wiki.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/DomainDeveloper
Little count of developpers and qa-quys:
Sun Microsystems        103
Novell                  14
Beijing Red Flag        9
Intel Corporation       7
others (ind. / corp.)   95

But here also: we are not sure who is spending how much time on OOo.

Any thoughts?
