Hi,

> a fork of OpenOffice or a rewrite?
It's a fork. A lot of code was debugged and cleaned in
one year, and many improvements have been made.

The old OpenOffice.org project is still active but less
than the new one. And it's hosted by the Apache Software
Foundation now.
> And what about koffice?
It's a completely different software, and it's Calligra (beta)
now.

One goal for this office suite is to use the same OpenDocument
format for text, spreadsheet, ... files. So it will be compatible
with OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice.
Bye.
