My proposal in simple words is either 2 of the following options:
* Make the first Apache OpenOffice.org release get the 4.0 name as it
is basically a new and mostly rewritten version of the current OOo source code.
or
* Drop the version number from the Apache OpenOffice.org name.
I think, I will add a third option here, drop the ".org" suffix and go simply
with Apache OpenOffice as the project's name.

I do not understand the point Michael made in that email. Is he suggesting
that no version number be used?
