Great!

If you have interest in improving our wiki in order to help other 
newcomers to find their way more easily, please raise your hand (and 
anybody interested in this task, too). Our wiki can look much better 
than nowadays, but we haven't the time to add more helpful information 
and to improve the existing pages.

Unfortunately your information is wrong:

Oracle donated the OpenOffice.org code to Apache but kept the 
intellectual property as well as the trademark as far as I know.

While our community here has been interested in getting back the name we 
established over ten years as quite a strong brand, Oracle decided to 
create a new community at Apache.

If we had got back the OpenOffice.org brand, we would have had to 
decide, if we should go back to the OOo brand, maintain both brand names 
by combining them like "LibreOffice evolved from OpenOffice" or keep the 
LibreOffice brand as we do now.

Because the brand has not been handed over to TDF, all these thoughts 
are in vain...

I don't think that we already have a wiki page showing all the menu 
icons in all their different styles.

It might be quite valuable to have an oversight.

Starting such a task might be quite a pain, so you should consider to 
start your work on a subpage of your wiki userpage like I did with mine:
