First to what Rory was saying on PDF editing, I tend to agree and personally don't see it as a must have feature for any suite - that said, again for myself I'd point out that with ODF-extended file format they can create a PDF/ODF hybrid (whether you think that is a good idea or not..;) but it is the case anyway) and I think worth a mention.
To Ariel's point - I think it's valid (though I disagree that AOO on MS Windows wouldn't know about it) IMO the best situation is to not address LibO at all - I would directly tell folks asking about it to ask at the proper location and that is LibO. I will say the same about LibO resources. Myself I wish that were not the best way, but I think it is. That said, I also hope that AOO and LibO developers end up having a beer together at FOSDEM and exchanging ideas on the code in sessions..
