That wiki is just Simon having a spirited conversation with himself.
I would not use it for anything more than a source of entertainment.

Actually that would have been a simpler question to ask.  What you
actually did is interject into a thread about calendar localization
and when I wrote "We are in our final weeks of testing and bug fixing
for our OpenOffice 3.4 release" you started asking questions about why
I had not said "Apache OpenOffice 3.4". I hope you can see how that
was not a very good way of raising a new, entirely unrelated subject
in an exiting thread.

In any case, in the latest dev snapshots the about box says "Apache
OpenOffice".  There may be places where the changes has not yet been
made, in the code and on the website.
