Hello,

I am current Estonian(et) translator for Apache OpenOffice. Its one of the
twelve languages whose webpages is marked outdated.

Two years ago the main page and the download page were partly translated
using the latest source available at the time. Before it the page used an
old template, but was localized.

Last 5+ years (maybe 10 y) the page has never (in my knowledge) been
labeled maintained. The language is not selectable from drop-down menu (i
was told it is related to the fact that the program has no release for
estonian language since Apache obtained it from Sun). The UI for AOO 4.2 is
today 100% in Estonian (but the version is not released).

I am busy these days and am slowly working on help files. I do not know how
to proceed with web page. If i can help with it i am willing to do so when
i have time.

Best wishes,
Taavi
