Hi Louis, I'm not a native language lead but
as Sophie told me the French native language community (esp. the African francophone community) has problems regarding Bouncer because Bouncer doesn't seem to prefer regional download connections over international connections. Several users from Africa have complained that they got a very slow connection and it makes a difference if a user needs twelve hours or if he needs five hours to download a version over a modem line depending on the connection he got by Bouncer.
btw. broffice.org still seems to be down. Bouncer links for BrOo are available: http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=BrOffice.org&os=linuxintel&lang=pt-BR&version=2.2.1 http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=BrOffice.org&os=linuxintellangpack&lang=pt-BR&version=2.2.1 http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=BrOffice.org&os=win&lang=pt-BR&version=2.2.1 http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=BrOffice.org&os=winlangpack&lang=pt-BR&version=2.2.1
So... Do the NLC leads still have objections to using Bouncer? If yes, what are they? (Have they been communicated to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list?) If not, can I ask that you do so? As I wrote before, Bouncer can help us track downloads. This may even be so for projects whose primary pages are actually off the CollabNet site, such as BR-PT: they can add their servers to the Bouncer list.
