Sun/Oracle discontinued developing OOo and donated it to Apache, which
to my surprise made a recent release. However many Linux distros
switched to LibreOffice, originally forked from OOo in 2010. To my
understanding LibO is the project that should be followed by
end-users.

Since ROOo is beta and rather outdated, I was wondering if there were
an effort to bring an RExcel-like functionality to recent LibO or
Gnumeric releases.
