Does Apache ever "declare" anything dead? In my experience things are just allowed to drift quietly into bureaucratic ghost towns. I'm not sure if they've ever formally disbanded a project, but maybe somebody has an example.
It would be helpful if OpenOffice were formally killed though. The name "Libreoffice" is not particularly catchy and I can never remember which is which even though I actually have LibreOffice installed on the computer I'm using right now.
Edit: Oh here's an example: https://river.apache.org/ but it took them several years to come to terms with it, but then again that was quicker than OpenOffice, yes.
Edit again: I think coincidentally (or not) Apache River has a similar history to OpenOffice, in that after buying Sun Microsystems, Oracle "donated" it to Apache, "donated" meaning "Good luck, this isn't our problem anymore." One of those things that looks like goodwill but really isn't...
