Did Apache take up the reigns of OpenOffice again? Last I heard, OpenOffice was basically dead after Oracle screwed it over.
It is still maintained by the ASF with bugfix releases every year and they expressed opinion to see more developers participating.
Do they plan on continuing feature releases anytime soon?
No, there's 0% chance. Look at their Dev mailing list, they can't even build the software on modern Linux systems they need to make workarounds to use outdated versions of Java. It's quite embarrassing.
