I think it's a good assumption that updating is only needed on
Windows. Look at Mozilla Firedox update. Update mechanism is available
for Linux, but most distros disable it because they have their own
update mechanism.
I don't know exactly about Mac, but most of its uers have NeoOffice installed.

I think I'm confused as to what we're talking about. Is updating any different than packaging? I assume we're looking for a system that manages both.

I disagree with leaving things to the distros - giving *nix users the ability to update and get the most recent fixes / features should be /our/ responsibility, not left to distro maintainers (and I for one use Firefox's update mechanism on Ubuntu, 'cause I don't like the changes the distro maints make :-)

And ought we not to aim to merge the NeoOffice / LibreOffice communities eventually, as with the http://go-oo.org/ project? I don't know, maybe there are politics of which I'm unaware.

In other news, I've found several other possible tool candidates, and some more information about the Firefox update system, and added it to the wiki:
