Why is there no Apache OpenOffice listed on
http://projects.apache.org/indexes/alpha.html#O
?

I suspect the donations held at SPI are earmarked for OpenOffice.org
so can the Apache Software Foundation handle that and avoid using the
funds for foundation-level costs?  It's not clear to me from
http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html

Hope that helps,
