Thanks.  I hoped someone was collecting articles, besides myself.  
Thanks for the WIKI link.  Maybe this month a lot more online news and 
content providers will present LibreOffice in the spotlight and tell 
people how good LibreOffice is as a replacement for MSO.

In the above article "Document Foundation Launches Breakaway Open Source 
LibreOffice 3.3 Suite" it talks about Oracle bought OOo from Sun, but 
who did Sun buy to get the name and code, and was there someone before 
it?  I want to add a "history" to my link on one of my pages.  One 
article, I remember, stated that the code started about 10 years before 
the open source version was created, which was now over ten years ago 
for that.

I am changing my text and links from OpenOffice.org as my main office 
suite choice to LibreOffice.  I will call OOo "Oracle's OpenOffice.org" 
and use it as second place for MS Office alternatives, with LibreOffice 
as first place.  I am always looking for documents and/or articles not 
written by "Document Foundation" that supports my stand to use 
LibreOffice as the preferred office package over MSO, and maybe OOo as 
well.  I am currently creating a CD/DVD handout with LibreOffice, its 
add-ons for Windows/English, documentation, and PDF versions of copies 
of articles I found interesting about LibreOffice.  This disc will also 
include as many other open source software so I will have a "stuffed 
full" open source disc.  LibreOffice is replacing OOo on this handout disc.
