Some of the points we have talked about already but yes they are all valid imho
If the existing forum owner doesn't want to make a oo distribution
section. (I don't understand why he would not. It would be best to
keep the community together) Then I will host a premodded version of
phpbb forum) So ads will not appear on the screen. Ads on the screen
doesnt really fit with openoffice distribution.
I own and operate windows and linux website servers across the united states.
These servers are completely owned by my company. Box, memory, hard
drives, ip addresses the whole kit n caboodle. I just thought I would
mention that since many people lease servers but you still don't have
100% control over them.

Any other time that would sound like a good plan, but in this
instance, hosting a PHPBB forum, which I initially offered, would
bring us back to the point of how to submit to it through email.
That's a function built into the Google Groups. Plus, I don't see
how the ads on the right would interfere with anything. They can
easily be ignored.

Right now I'm moderating the spam off the list (but approving everything
else), so hopefully everyone will see less spam.
There are a few pages that I think could use some minor corrections/changes:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.1/index.html
1. Promote OpenOffice.org
If you would like to help promote OpenOffice.org your are welcome to place
your favorite button at your site.
'your are' should be changed to 'you are'
2. On the same page, the BitTorrent Downloads! link points to
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/download.html . That goes to a Page
moved type page that then forwards you to
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ . Wouldn't it just be easier if the
original link went there?
3. The third option for selecting download site would be nice if we
emphasized P2P and had these at the top of the list:
P2P: BitTorrent
P2P: Magnet Link
P2P: ed2k link
I know theres a separate page for P2P & I hope I'm not making it out to be
more important than it is, but I think sharing bandwidth is better than
paying for it. Encourage people to use P2P especially if they already have
something like BT installed. If not, using the regular links is fine.
Here's the part of the script, which is above me:
'<select name="mirror"
onchange="javascript:formHandler(this.options[selectedIndex].value)">\n'+
'<option value="">Select your download site</option></select>\n'+
4 & 5. Once you select language, os, download site you are brought to a page
like
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.1/contribute.html?continue=ftp%3A//ftp.op
enoffice.skynet.be/pub/ftp.openoffice.org/stable/2.0.1/OOo_2.0.1_Win32Intel_
install.exe . I think it would be nice if this page would be in the language
you selected a few seconds before. That makes another page to translate, but
it would be a nice touch & helpful to users. This page should also have the
information from the previous page since this is the last page that will be
open once you have downloaded the install file:
Documentation
* System Requirements
* Installation Instructions & Guides: Windows & Linux
* Mac OS X (X11) installation information
* Set Up Guide (pdf)
* User Guide
* Release Notes
Of course, this would be nice if translated pages were offered, at least for
the Installation Instructions.
What do you guys think?
