Huge thanks for such reactivity indeed.


But a lot of people are missing it due to the "portable" version being too
hidden in our download infrastructure.

What's the best solution to ensure that:
1) Users can actually find the "portable" version and
2) Users are correctly informed that this is a third-party port?

My proposal (subject to lazy consensus or discussion here) would be to
modify
http://www.openoffice.org/**download/<http://www.openoffice.org/download/>
as follows: add it to the line that says
Get all platforms, languages, language packs | Source Code tarballs and
SDK |
so that it becomes
Get all platforms, languages, language packs | Source Code tarballs and
SDK | Third-party and portable versions

and to link the additional text to
http://www.openoffice.org/**porting/<http://www.openoffice.org/porting/>
so that people are correctly informed. This also ensures that when/if we
have other portable versions available nothing needs to be changed.

Other proposal : the creation of an official flyer in English "How to start
with AOO 4.0" with a summary of  the important informations  and links
(installation, extensions, portability, etc. no need to detail the
functions of the different modules in such a flyer). Everybody could
download it and share it with the correct informations. When modifications,
they are applied directly on the flyer which is always actualized.
A good way to discover that the new logo has some issue when printing in
B&W. As I voted for it without control the results in black and white
impression, so it is also my fault ;-)
An opportunity to have some marketing material to distribute on stands ,
etc...

I'm already working with OpenOffice since many years, so I don't know if this is still needed by many users. ;-) But it sounds good and helpful.

However, to not mixed things up and to get the most attention you would write your proposal as new mail thread.
