Parent article: OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 released

thoroughly commend all efforts on OO(O?)

but dbase? what about postgresql and mysql, where 95% of the action is?

from my experience, that would put a _lot_ of projects over the top in ability to use linux and/or sun instead of ms office.

See http://dba.openoffice.org/. I haven't worked with MySQL, but you can access PostgreSQL via ODBC, JDBC and there is a new native postgresql driver under development (which already works nicely as long as you're not changing the tables via OO, just making queries). When the native driver is finished I think it will be fantastic -- it's already better than the ODBC driver in some respects.
