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."
I want to put the portable thing first as it seems to be the more
important info. So, how to do it in better English?
Link: "Portable USB versions and third-party ports."
Title: "Get Apache OpenOffice software packaged as portable USB
versions and third-party ports."
Thanks, I've corrected the text.
This little change is now also live.
Marcus
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".
OK
Marcus
