Bear in mind that Apache OO hasn't been updated in heaven knows how
long. Last I heard it took over six months to get a serious (read
"dangerous") bug fixed, because no one knew how to get the build system
to work to create a new release.

So before you spend time "supporting" OO (that's probably why it still
works for OO, because it's not been updated ...) check the release date
of the version you are supporting. I think there's only been one proper
release of OO since it became Apache OO, and that's how many years ago?

otoh, LO is a moving target with regular releases. But the dev list is
very active so if you want some help from the LO guys, feel free to join
in. If I spot you there I'll try to help, but my involvement with LO
code isn't that much.
