I wish I could answer your question, but I don't know either. 

This link contains some information about the documentation project,
but it also gives you some general information about the transition
from Oracle to Apache and also a link to the new development list. 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Introducing_OOoAuthors

So maybe you have a better chance for an answer to your question at
Apache?
