OpenOffice.org 3.3 Beta Release Available

For the sake of an argument, supposing I actually needed this feature, what recourses would I have to get it available with reasonable assurance of delivery, at a reasonable cost and in a reasonable time? I an assuming that I would never find enough free time to even understand the innards of OOo enough to code it myself in a reasonable time. And to have it at a reasonable cost, I would have to group together with a lot of other people who need the feature, since a reasonable price to me would not pay for many programmer hours. Someone would have to organise that, and given that I am not aware of any reliable third parties doing so, I would have to do so myself, which would also be a massive investment of (not very interestingly spent) time and effort.

Am I missing anything here? And has anyone actually organised anything like this with success for any large free software project?
