What makes you believe they have enough manpower to keep things going?

I'm not very confident. They did not even bother branding the product package properly (README refers to "OpenOffice.org", so does the window title and even a button in the help menu that pops up an "Apache OpenOffice" about box) and their web site now looks hacked together by someone not particularly literate in the area and ridiculously inconsistent:

http://www.openoffice.org/product/index.html

Also, I thought OS/2 was done by a well known and organized consortia too...

If the pbournho responsible for the parent post is the same pbournho as on Twitter, [1] I dare say that his faith may have something to do with working for one of the key providers of said manpower.
