Couple of questions:
(Q) it was stated to me at one time that integrating changes between AOO and
LO would not be overly complicated (bad memory, but maybe it was Tom Davis
referencing the fact that Symphony was kept in sync with OOo). Are any
changes integrated between AOO and LO (in either direction) at this time? I
have been asked this question specifically (as it related to the code
clean-up effort in LO), and I generally say "I don't know, but I don't think
so".
I've seen a couple of examples of:
1) A contributor contributing the same code (or similar code) to both
AOO and LO.
2) LO taking a patch from AOO and integrating it into LO.
I've also heard that LO is "rebasing" on AOO code in order to switch
their license to MPLv3.. But I have not been able to figure out what
this actually means and whether or not it involves source code.
But it is probably safe to say that there is no widespread sharing of
code between the two projects. I have hopes that this will change in
the near future.
Thanks Rob. I had seen no specific evidence that there was wide-spread
sharing, but figured that I was perhaps sufficiently not in the know.

(Q) AOO lists use addresses such as ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org and
ooo-...@incubator.apache.org. Assuming that AOO is taken from incubator
status, will incubator be dropped from the list names and will current
subscribers be ported to the new list?
The addresses will map like this:
ooo-...@incubator.apache.org ===> x...@openoffice.apache.org
There is a list of other migration tasks here:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#transfer
I don't know if it will be necessary to resubscribe or not. But even
if the subscription information is preserved, subscribers who use
filters and rules in their mail client will need to update them.
We should probably start a wiki page for migration-related
information, so we can keep project members and observers up to date.
