I was going to suggest:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base

But it looks like the wiki.services.openoffice.org server is still down
and responds with:
====
OpenOffice.org Wiki has a problem

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.

Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

(Can't contact the database server: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (146) (localhost))
====

Let's hope they don't run it on Base :-)
