Thanks, I will start enumerating the differences between OpenOffice
and LibreOffice here:
http://dotancohen.com/eng/difference_openoffice_libreoffice.html

Please contact me with any additions or corrections, and I will start
trolling both the OOo and LO mailing list for other differences.

Thanks.

As that is a primary use case for you, I would appreciate it if your
could be tasked with that particular difference. Just let me know
what, if anything, changes.

That's going to be one hell of a moving target. What audience are you trying
to serve with that page?

That is why I ask for the community's help. I don't expect to notice
all the differences, but when major disparities of functionality are
identified, I would like to have them enumerated in an easy-to-find
resource. Hence the page.

Two audiences:
1) Those who are deciding between the two suites.
2) Those who are having trouble with a specific aspect of one of the
suites, which may be addressed in the other.

I'd also hope:

3.) LibreOffice developers who would like an overview of areas where
LO is perhaps deficient compared to OOo, and are interested in
correcting those issues.
