Not easy, but possible.
But you should read about resources here: http://www.mail-archive.com/general@incubator.apache.org/msg28861.html That came from inside Apache, didn't it? And additional from the OOo-side: Did you watch the development of OpenOffice.org as project and as product since the fork? In fact there wasn't any, despite the fact that Oracle was still sponsoring. Even if OOo@Apache will attract some people who hesitated to participitate before, there will be not enough to continue OOo to meet it's fine history. Apache can be proud as it got the grant, but I doubt that OOo will be long-term pleasure.
