For what it's worth, GNOME Office has even its own Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Office

And it states some interesting information like e.g. Glom and Evolution are
considered to be part of the suite. However, I guess that a more official
module list is on:

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeOffice

As far as I know, a package called gnome-office is released periodically on
ftp.gnome.org. I don't know details though. Anybody here has a deeper
knowledge on the subject?

Too bad some of the suite modules aren't hosted on git.gnome.org (AbiWord),
so we can't translate them conveniently and have a consistent office suite
l10n.
