What are you working on? October 2013

This is the supposedly-bimonthly-but-we-keep-skipping 'What are you working On?' thread. Previous threads are here. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines:

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable.

Working on getting the OpenOffice.org article on Wikipedia to featured status. It's a long and tedious road of polishing. A peer review helped. I nominated it for good article status, but frankly nobody cares about GA. I started getting it into shape over the Christmas 2012 holidays (in between sipping Christmas pudding mead) and have since completely reorganised it and read every suitable tech press reference I can find in several languages (here's to Google Translate and the tech press everywhere apparently writing entirely in cliches - I'd certainly never chance machine-translated Japanese in a subject area I didn't know the cliches in). Your opinions as fresh readers would be most helpful :-)

Why work on polishing a description of a discontinued product?
