It's not clear to me how contributions to LO will make their way to
OpenOffice.org.
For me, it looks very much one-way: LO grabbing a lot of stuff from OOo,
but LO not contributing anything to OOo.

In the same hand it's not clear, to me, why OOo haven't taken advantage
of code contributions from others - go-oo for example... A prime example
of this is OOo's stance on not using, or offering gstreamer, and instead
insisting linux users using closed, old (2003), outdated, not-updated,
jmf instead for sound& video.
Because the Novell go-oo people decided not to contribute theier
gstreamer implementation to OOo and OOo respected that. Later Kai
Ahrens was so brave and did another implementation of gstreamer for
OOo. Due to health problems he didn't make it in time for OOo 3.3. He
was just a few days of so Oracle decided to contribute it anyway in OOo
3.3 but two people from the comunity, one who is now Foundation Funding
Member and the other is from Novell overuled this. Go figure...
Christian.
