Can we split this into two questions so that the second one begins with:

<delete>Since the above process will be cumbersome, </delete>Sun has attempted
to obtain permission to have external source
                   code hosted at OpenOffice.org in the cases where the
copyright notice indicates it should be possible.
                   Respondents to date have been willing to allow their source
code to be hosted at OpenOffice.org but have asked
                   that modifications are returned to the original project and
that OpenOffice.org uses the latest versions.

                   The following is a list of external source code:
                   
                   Include Table here
                   
                   
                Other software required to build OpenOffice.org on certain
platforms is documented here http://tools.openoffice.org/.

The question should be: What external code is required to build OpenOffice.org?

We need to make it easier for people to find this info.
Thanks,
