when running OSX and opening www.openoffice.org and selecting "I want to download OpenOffice.org" and its icon, it points to the " http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/"; page and that one after two clicks leads to an obsolete 3.1.1 download. Firstly, OSX is not a port anymore, it is a native OOo platform, so a separate website for OSX builds is not necessary nor needed, right?
yes, this is also my opinion.
Secondly, why doesn't the download link point directly to the stable builds download page? Several unnecessary clicks are required ...
There is an old download magic working to do the redirect. I've tried to change this but unfortunately I've no Mac to really test. Theoretically it should work now. ;-) Can you confirm this? If not we have to go on next week.
Thirdly, just an observation, if there are several pages for download, maintained by different teams (for OSX obviously the porting team), that just leads to confusion, obsolete builds offered etc.
Maybe the Mac porting team is willing to point ther download links to the main website. Have you asked them already?.
The funny part is that for Slovenian Win version the main www.openoffice.orgdownload link leads to sl.openoffice.org/prenosi.html, our dedicated page for Slovenian downloads, but for Slovenian OSX version it leads to the OSX/Mac porting page. I would wish both would lead to our own page (or the central download stable builds page).
Hopefully this is now also valid for Mac. Best regards Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
