Hello Dave and Marcus
Please consider "AOO Installation free USB port".
It's not only the portable version we want to mention, it's also about
the other ports. Sorry but I'll keep Dave's suggestion as it sounds
better regarding the English language.
Marcus

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.
To have a visible impression see here:

+1, is "portings" the right word ? my dictionary suggest "ports", but I
am
no native speaker.
Hm, my favorite online dictionary says "portings". ;-) Let's see what our
native speakers will say.
"ports" is more usual in a software context.
But "portable" is ambiguous, since it means two things: 1) capable of
being ported to multiple platforms. 2) something you can carry.
Since we offer portable code, ports of the binaries and a portable
version, it is hard to avoid confusion here ;-)
The link says:
Portable USB version and other third-party portings
I think "Third-party ports including a portable USB version" is better US
English.
and the title:
Get Apache OpenOffice as portable USB version or choose from other third-party
portings
"Get third-party ports of Apache OpenOffice including a portable USB version."
Shouldn't this be enough to make it clear? Or is it better when I replace "Portable USB
version" with "Portable USB App"?
If we say App then users will be thinking "App Store".
Regards,
Dave
