+If you read about who has signed on to the LibO project, it leaves no 
+doubt, that once organized, LibreOffice is the package to offer. You can 
+find the supporters here (more are coming!):

+
+I would vote to offer the LibO as is right from the start. It is working 
+well for me, and it looks like they are quite organized, they will have 
+a final product out in no time. They have a lot of user/dev help.
+
+They have discussion groups on Gmane as well as many mailists on the go.
