The bank routing information on Team OpenOffice.org e.V. [1] differs =
from Freies Office Deutschland e.V. [2] which differs from Freies Office =
Deutschland e.V. [3] - the accounts are separated.

It looks like the TDF/LO people had an email thread about this and other =
matters in October, 2010. [4] It looks like some of the major wounds to =
the OOo are around this issue and community budget. Oracle basically =
took over.  Oracle should know where the donations are.

Dave
