Well, it should have happened months or years ago whenever the 15 people added that code. In any case, I did add a privacy policypage, which you can see linked here: http://www.openoffice.org/license.html > I suppose that requires an update to the footer, not sure I know how to > do that - but it may be in the mail list here (I'll look) > > Otherwise, I really think we either add the privacy statement now or > pull the GA injection till it is ready.

I think it is sufficient though it does require an extra click to find. If we're willing to do a big build of the entire site, it can be made cleaner by editing ooo-site/templates/footer.html so there is a "privacy" link directly from the footer. That is what I did on the podling site. But we would probably want to coordinate that, to see if there are other site-wide changes we can trigger at the same time. > //drew > >
