There are a couple of CWSs targeted to OOo3.4 that address release critical bugs and are not integrated to the OOO340 code line yet. Many of them have status nominated, some not. A release should include them, problem is that on the old OOo infrastructure work can't happen as a) we don't know if that infrastructure will be available sufficiently long enough for all release relevant work b) releases with the OpenOffice.org brand name will be bound to the trademark and can only be done by the trademark owner, IMHO (IANAL) On the other hand, a release can't be done quickly on Apache, be it for the incubator status of this project or merely because of technical reasons that we won't get a releasable status of the code base in time as we won't have the original OOO340 code base under ASL. I would be delighted if someone pointed out a way we could solve that dilemma, but I fear we're stuck at the moment. Eike -- PGP/OpenPGP/GnuPG encrypted mail preferred in all private communication.
