With IBM's developers no longer working on OpenOffice, the contention by many is that AOO development is all but dead due to the fact that there aren't enough active development hours going into the project to even maintain the existing codebase (fix high-level crash bugs and critical security issues) let alone make progress on any new features or standard bug fixes. The extremely low volume of commits in AOO seems to match up with that contention. The comparison to LibreOffice is relevant as it is a comparison of a healthy open source project with multiple contributors to one which is said to be dying. LibreOffice has more commits on an average weekday than AOO has had in all of 2015.
