references to OpenOffice.org in the wiki

I see that in the wiki pages at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/ there are still many references to OpenOffice.org . Am I correct in understanding that this was the old brand name, and now it would be more correct to refer to "Apache OpenOffice" or more simply "OpenOffice"? Is it alright if I

I've touched up the wiki page in the past week or so, as I've been using the Netbeans plugin on more recent versions of Netbeans. I believe Patricia was asking about the wiki for the Groovy / Gradle tests? Is there any information on how to proceed in testing the Groovy / Gradle implementation?
