Not sure things are that complicated, but if this can help, the OpenOffice.org Education Project proposes to start porting OpenOffice.org to Android.

While it can accept an external USB keyboard I don't really care about editing ODF docs. I would be completely happy with just a good, accurate reader/player for ODF files. Supporting Write and Calc files would be good, Draw would be great, and Impress would be AWESOME.

Interesting choice. What OS version does it run?
I figure OpenOffice should target Android 1.6, and 2.0+. It should not assume the existence of the google apps, but it should integrate into the OS by registering what Intents it can handle, so any app, including the google apps, can launch OpenOffice to handle stuff.
Is it even worthwhile to continue to develop Open Office as a stand alone applications suite?

OOo as an office suite as it is now, is not practical for Android (for a lot of reasons.. it's too big for the Android architecture to start with).
