A foundation per se is a great thing, but when there are two source code repositories and two final products then "this project" is either schizophrenic or it is actually two projects. And being schizophrenic is not a healthy state of mind. > I think you need to clarify this: with "contributing to > OpenOffice.org", you mean "contributing to Oracle"?

If do want not contribute to that under the current conditions there are only two mutually exclusive choices: Either try to change the conditions in the existing project or start your own. I guess, mixing both throwing in an "independant foundation that is part of it"(*) will not serve anybody. Ah well, we will see.
