Working on getting the OpenOffice.org article on Wikipedia to featured status. It’s a long and tedious road of polishing. A peer review helped. I nominated it for good article status, but frankly nobody cares about GA. I started getting it into shape over the Christmas 2012 holidays (in between sipping Christmas pudding mead) and have since completely reorganised it and read every suitable tech press reference I can find in several languages (here’s to Google Translate and the tech press everywhere apparently writing entirely in cliches—I’d certainly never chance machine-translated Japanese in a subject area I didn’t know the cliches in). Your opinions as fresh readers would be most helpful :-)
’Cos I FELT LIKE IT. It’s also pretty historically important. Documents are boring, but our large and complicated civilisation runs on them. With OpenDocument (being both an open format and machine-processable), OOo changed the game.
edit: The article also used to cover Apache OpenOffice, but that’s now a separate article (it got separated out just after AOO 4.0).

Why work on polishing a description of a discontinued product?
