As mentioned before, I think we need some more time before doing a
(public) beta.
But I also want to get a wider user base for testing and something
"official" we can base our discussions on.

So here is my proposal:

We could create a tag (snapshot420 or whatever) and build it as a
developer snapshot.
This can be done similar to a beta with the build targets:
openofficedev, ooodevlanguagepack and sdkoodev.

We also have a special splashscreen for a "Developer Snapshot":
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branches/AOO42X/main/ooo_custom_images/dev/introabout/intro.png

I would like to have all recent translations committed and merged before
we create the tag.
March would be a good time, so we could also include the updated English
dictionary.

The build should be uploaded to an official place together with all
hashes and PGP signatures.
It could be announced with a blog post linked on our homepage.

Opinions?

Would we limit the distribution as follows?
We would not distribute to SourceForge.
We would not put this on the OpenOffice.org download page.

and how to you want the people to download the files? Via a long list of links? I hope not as it would be clearly a big step backwards what we have available now. ;-)

We would put the distribution on our official Apache Dist page, but not allow 
the Apache Mirrors to pick it up (as now, but make sure with Infra first)
We would only note the distribution from the blog post and emails to all of our 
openoffice.apache.org <http://openoffice.apache.org/> mailing lists.
We would allow the Forums to POST where it is available if it is a way to solve 
user issues.

(I think we need to warn Infra in case too many are taking this version from 
www.apache.org/dist/ <http://www.apache.org/dist/>.)

Release, as in GA, or release as in Beta?

Bug 125129 looks like a wild goose chase and requires considerable
understanding of the framework layer, but I'll try continue when I have
time.

My own release checklist would include:
1. Library audit.
1.1 Did we lose or gain any public symbols in our libraries since the
4.1.0? Gbuild requires explicit export instead of exporting everything and
then possibly controlling visibility with a .map file, so it's very
possible.
1.2 Did ELF symbol versions on *nix platforms change? The older gbuild
modules probably did, as I didn't understand the meaning of .map files back
then.
1.3 Are the same libraries with the same names available in both 4.1.0 and
4.2.0?
2. Base:
2.1 Complete the Java SDBC driver framework, used by both the new SDBC-JDBC
bridge and the Postgres SDBC driver.
2.2 Audit the new SDBC-JDBC bridge in Java against the old C++ one, fix any
differences.
2.3 Complete the Postgres SDBC driver; still needs views, users, groups,
etc.
2.4 Complete the integration of the Postgres SDBC driver into the Base UI
forms (like MySQL already is).
3. Crashreporter
3.1 Get it working again.
3.2 Bug reported in UI form (instead of submitted to some now obsolete
server), which can be copied/pasted or attached to Bugzilla.
4. Testing
4.1 Run all available tests (unit tests, smoketest, module integration
tests, bvt, fvt, etc.) against 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, find and fix any
regressions.

IMO, the situation hasn't changed so much.

We should at least fix issue 125129 [1] before we release a (public)
beta. I have seen that Damjan is investigating...

Then we need time to inform translators on l10n@ before we can export
the latest translations from Pootle.
At the moment most of them are at 98% for the UI but the SDF files still
need to be updated in source.
