Indeed, the way can be different how to show these hints. But
I think we
agree already that the hint presentation could be more
automatic and
context-sensitive.

Exactly, I agree with you on that.

OK, then we have our basis.

Next step would be to clearify the requirements. Here I would
like to be
generic as best as possible; which means to keep out
technical details
for the moment.

When this is done we can try to find a technical solution to get the
requirement implemented.

What do you think?

The essential requirements for Windows are clear and concern the 32-bit Java 
'problem'.
For Linux, at least the issues of system integration and uninstalling LO are 
also involved.
About MacOS I personally know nothing.

Maybe it would be best if I say here that I will think about detailed 
requirements together with the update (*) of the German installation manual?

(*):
I have to explain this briefly: as part of the ProOO-Box's work on the German 
AOO documentaion (see comments on http://www.openoffice.org/de/doc/index.html), 
I am currently working specifically on the installation manual. Problem is that 
I, due to lack of time, unfortunately only very slow progress, advantage is 
that I really binding work on it.
As sorry as I am, I can't say until when this work will be done, but it will 
take _at least_ a few more months.



Yes, it makes sense to leave out technical details for now, but I recently came 
across (through an info on users-de@...) the following issue where I think 
improvement is needed (in the medium term):
our download site works almost not at all without JavaScript.

for me it's working. When clicking the green text you will be redirected to SF.net and you can download from there.

> Namely the linking to https://www.apache.org/dyn/aoo-
closer.cgi/openoffice/ does not help the user at all because there are no 
relevant mirrors for AOO.

Where have you find this link? I don't see it on the download webpage.

In general:
When you have no chance to interrupt your current work to help here, then we can wait for you until you have time for helping here.

Marcus
