I never even heard of it until your email.  Just Wikipedia-ed it now. 
An interesting and "juicy" story.  Just because Oracle may pull out of 
sponsorship doesn't mean they can also kill off the OpenOffice name, 
program and/or movement too, can they?

Will certainly keep an eye on these two office-suite programs over the 
coming months and years.  But I will personally not be switching over to 
LibreOffice based on the current situation alone...  If Libre is a much 
smaller effort, and if Oracle continues its sponsorship (or at least 
detaches itself honourably) then Open Office could still have the 
momentum and resources to provide the best suite -- as far as I can tell.

Good point though.  (I'd simply assume Libre inherits most of the good 
and bad from Open.)  If anyone out there is using LibreOffice and can 
comment on the aggregated/segregated Recent Documents feature, maybe 
they can fill us in?  (And maybe the missing Ctrl-[ and Ctrl-] 
increase/decrease of highlighted text size?)

Cheers,

Carl
