Someone remind me. . . .

What were all of the "popular" forks off from OpenOffice.org?

I remember a European one [EuroOffice?], a Mac one [NeoOffice?], and 
OxygenOffice.  I know there were others.  Many "died" on their own for 
lack of supporters or developers, while others [so I heard] had their 
project developers come over to LibreOffice and stop developing their 
"forked" projects.

Anyone know of a good list and what became of these forks?

Well, in my opinion, LibreOffice is the best fork of the lot.
