Your information is a year or two out of date. OpenOffice.org is alive and well, under the auspices of the Apache foundation. And in fact development is proceeding on it quite well. I believe they released OpenOffice v4 some time ago. It is mostly feature identical to LibreOffice 4, and even has a couple of features that LibreOffice lacks. They really need to merge back into one project again, but I suspect they won't either for ideological or legal reasons. The former is very sad and not a good commentary on the viability of open source software. OpenOffice is a much better name than LibreOffice as well, especially for trying to convert users off of proprietary Office. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
