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.
This is good to know. My sense is that we can use both Bouncer and
the Wusage (and probably other tools) to give us a better sense of
the download picture. I'm sorry to hear that location causes
problems, since one of my desires is to catch BR, African and other
downloads that we don't always catch now. And OOo is very popular in
Brazil.
btw.
broffice.org still seems to be down. Bouncer links for BrOo are
available:

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

I see. I'll be pinging Claudio ...
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.
Kind regards, Joost
Thanks, Joost.
best
louis
