Added by Simon Phipps: --------------------------------------------------------------------- *Work In Progress - not yet a public resource, please refer to the dev list. Keep its simple and factual\!* # Is there a release of Apache OpenOffice I can download? #* The Apache OpenOffice project will be releasing a new binary soon, which will be called Apache OpenOffice v3.4. #* Major features of this release will include removal and in some cases replacement of GPL code, plus a native SVG implementation. A full list of improvements is at $URL # Who is building Apache OpenOffice releases #* The code is being developed by a number of the original developers of OpenOffice.org plus developers from IBM Symphony and community volunteers. # Where can I get updates to the copy of OpenOffice.org that I am running? #* There have been no updates to OpenOffice.org binaries released for users since Oracle stopped development and there will be no patches to that earlier binary program released. #* The project is currently preparing a new version of the code. #* Once Apache OpenOffice v3.4 is released, the project recommends you replace your OpenOffice.org installation with it. # Why has the name changed? #* The OpenOffice.org trademarks and domain names now belong to The Apache Software Foundation #* The names of future released code have therefore been changed to match Apache's trademark guidelines. #* The Apache OpenOffice project now controls the original OpenOffice.org domain and plans to use it for future promotion of the Apache OpenOffice project. #* Future releases from the OpenOffice.org domain will be called "Apache OpenOffice". # Is Apache OpenOffice a full Apache Project? #* Not yet. The Apache OpenOffice project is still in incubation and has not yet requested graduation to a TLP. #* The project will do so once the graduation criteria have all been met, most notably having a release of the code approved by Apache.
