+1 This proposal sounds workable to me. Of course part of Manfred's point was that there are also "core" l10n/i18n activities that would presumably now happen at Apache within the core project. IMHO, the language projects will find Apache a much more open "upstream" than were Sun/Oracle. Should make things very nice once we actually get up and running.
OOo will be a different project to most everything else at Apache today (including huge and already well-organized contributor communities who need to continue to move forward as we re-rig things). Hopefully someday we'll have enough in place to offer services to some of them that would make sense and more of them will find their way in.
