Unfortunately there is no location for RC described in our cWiki:

Definitely a point that should be added...
This is one of the processes where OpenOffice simply behaves as a normal
Apache project. Release Candidates (please note: ONLY Release
Candidates) should be uploaded to SVN following the normal process
outlined at http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html
This means that Release Candidates for OpenOffice should go here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/
There are two reasons, though, for us NOT uploading the normal dev
builds (those that are not meant to be voted upon; of course 4.1.4 is
not at RC stage) there:
1. Uploading dozens of GBytes to SVN is really painful
2. Since SVN stores (on the server) the history of all files, this would
be heavy on the SVN server
So we've traditionally hosted the normal dev builds (before RC) on
people.apache.org; but Infra decided to replace it with home.apache.org
and to make it SFTP-only (no rsync); still, it is possible, while still
painful, to upload an OpenOffice development snapshot there; see
https://home.apache.org/~pescetti/openoffice-4.1.3-dev-r1761989/binaries/
as an example.
Which in short means: before RC, use a personal space to share builds,
home.apache.org being the most "politically correct" option (even though
from a technical point of view there are no advantages in using it
rather than a personal web space).
Feel free to include this information in the wiki pages if needed.

Andrea.
