If you read about who has signed on to the LibO project, it leaves no 
doubt, that once organized, LibreOffice is the package to offer. You can 
find the supporters here (more are coming!):

I would vote to offer the LibO as is right from the start. It is working 
well for me, and it looks like they are quite organized, they will have 
a final product out in no time. They have a lot of user/dev help.

They have discussion groups on Gmane as well as many mailists on the go.
