The Apache Software Foundation offers a suite of office productivity software named Apache Open Office. Based on the download page, you would never guess the last major release of the software was made available in 2014. With that bit of release history in mind, would it be fair to consider Apache Open Office as an un-maintained project? In this blog post, I share a quick recap of the history behind Apache Open Office, and my opinion on why The Apache Software Foundation’s actions may be masking the answer to this question.

    How about if you go try editing a docx on OpenOffice, then compare it with LibreOffice.

    Tho with the fact you’re saying this, you probably wouldn’t tell the difference.

      I don’t think the primary use case of document editing software is editing a different piece of software’s documents.
