This is more than 1 year old and there is no further discussion. Also there are
no further interested people on the CC list - besides the usual listeners. ;-)

I find it strange that you want to draw a special relation here.
SourceForge is no service for or from Apache or OpenOffice. We are using its
great service and they serve it to many, many others, too.
When other projects on SourceForge also use long file names like we do, then
they would see the same problem. I haven't looked around but, again, it's no
special problem that belongs to OpenOffice alone.

Why should a issue stay open that has no attention and no further comments?
And end-users do not need to search on SourceForge. For this we have our own
download webpage.

Right, Roberto is the right one to try to change it. AFAIK he knows the issue
but there is no solution until today. So, maybe it's not technically possible
without to change much more on their webpage.
@orcmid:
Sorry, but I don't think that this issue is right placed in the issue tracker
of OpenOffice due to the reasons I stated above. But to do something
constructive I will notify Roberto (again) about the problem reported in this
issue.
