At least - obviously - there is no confirmed schedule for the next micro
release.

Since OpenOffice.org is living in a healthy environment of derivatives
the main focus should be the collaboration within the project and the
further development of the product and not the update of old releases.
The initiative I mentioned earlier in this thread will help to keep
focus on quality of the product and also to follow the 'release early
and often' paradigm.  If we're successful in this, this will change our
release schedule in some way, right.
