Proposed F19 Feature: Apache OpenOffice

Regardless of that I'm not sure what it really brings to the table compared
to LibreOffice...

Looking at the release notes page for 3.4 what is here that is not already
available via LO:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Release+Notes ?

One might have thought of the improved symphony UI but that's not in place
as of yet...

The 4.0 release is not expected until April last I saw on the AOO mailing
lists so almost certainly won't make the F19 release and that's the first
that looks like it'll have some major changes from what otherwise has
barely been touched for years - and already long since superseded by LO.

Although a choice of office suites is nice it would seem sane to push back
till F20 and see how the IBM stewardship (since it's mainly them driving
this now) goes and what new user experiences it brings to the table post
4.0 once they've completed the symphony merge work.
