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.

Why work on polishing a description of a discontinued product?

'Cos I FELT LIKE IT. It's also pretty historically important. Documents are boring, but our large and complicated civilisation runs on them. With OpenDocument (being both an open format and machine-processable), OOo changed the game.

edit: The article also used to cover Apache OpenOffice, but that's now a separate article (it got separated out just after AOO 4.0).
