Some quick comments.

1 -- the first paragraph is really weak.  "Subsequent to a transfer of
rights...."  "Hence"?  A bit bureaucratic.  Why not just take our
standard opening, from the "Why OpenOffice?" Page:

"Apache OpenOffice is the leading open-source office software suite
for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases
and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common
computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard
format and can also read and write files from other common office
software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of
charge for any purpose."

We should be promoting the product, not giving free history lessons.

2 -- The trademark acknowledgement in the footer is wrong.  For
example, the feather logo is not being used at all. And we're claiming
a trademark on "Apache OpenOffice" not on "OpenOffice".

So better would be something like this:

"Apache OpenOffice is a trademark of The Apache Software Foundation.
OpenOffice.org and the seagull logo are registered trademarks of The
Apache Software Foundation."

3 -- the "Can I participate?" section sends users to the users mailing
list.  Is that what we want.  I would have thought sending them to the
dev list would be better.  Or even better: Link to
http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html which will get them to
the right information faster.

4 --On back side -- It should be Open Document Format with a space and
capital 'F' (two places).

Otherwise this looks great -- thanks, Drew!
