If you are going to maintain nearly identical content on two websites simultaneously for any length of time, you might try to inject a <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.openoffice.org/original-page";> into the pages served up by the Apache CMS. That will help prevent any confusion to Google. It essentially instructs Google to consider the openoffice.org version of the page to be the real one. This is important for SEO.
