I think people are first watching if anything actually comes out of this. libreoffice has been pretty active and has basically gotten all the active community members now:

The old code base has been abandoned and doesn't really see much changes anymore:

Maybe these new apache committers will actually start coding again, but it seems the first order of business is getting rid of all the MPL/[L]GPL dependencies. Which will be a lot of work without any gain (of new features). So it might be better to just sit back and watch whether anything useful actually pops out before starting grand merging plans.
