Hi :) I think TDF, just like other companies and organisations, could have more than 1 product. It might be best if they bring their community and structures with them and retain a lot of independence and work-flow but obviously there might be some things that TDF could offer or would want such projects to incorporate. I had thought such projects might include database back-ends, Gnome Office (if that needs a home), Calligra Office (although they are probably well organised already).
Probably it's all been discussed on the discussion's list here but this is an exciting time for TDF and there are a lot of opportunities for planning road-maps into the future.

I recommend it to all my students (along with FF and LO.) It also provides for sharing of collaborati libraries. I would have to suggest that the zotero community might appear to be less prone to spatting and more cohesive, and that would be my only heartburn in a closer relationship.....
