It's worth noting that these grants were always made by Team OOo (and indeed by FrODev) at their sole discretion and without any ability to officially direct them from the OOo project itself. I find it hard to see how Apache would be able to unilaterally shut down an independent, complementary activity like this. As to Shane's point about referring to some other list; presumably, as in other instances of this, we'd need to have a proposal formulated before doing that, and hence the topic is still appropriate here.
