Hi,
I am sorry - again some stuff regarding our update service.
As it has been pointed out in [1] there are some more OOo versions out there for
which we can activate the update service.
Thus, I am proposing to activate the update service for installed OOo 3.2 and
OOo 3.2.1 instances for which we have an AOO 3.4 installation package.
These would be OOo 3.2/3.2.1 versions of the following languages on Windows,
MacOS X, Linux 32bit and Linux 64bit:
- English (US)
- Arabic
- Chinese (simplified)
- Chinese (traditional)
- Czech
- Dutch
- French
- Galician
- German
- Hungarian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Portuguese (Brazilian)
- Russian
- Spanish
If nobody objects, I will work on the following tasks to make this happen:
(A) get in contact with Apache infrastructure in order to get the following
Update URLs of OOo 3.2.1 and OOo 3.2 redirected:
-- http://update35.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
-- http://update34.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
These are the Update URL of OOo 3.2.1 resp. OOo 3.2
(B) creation of corresponding XML documents at the following URLs:
-- http://www.openoffice.org/projects/update35/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
-- http://www.openoffice.org/projects/update34/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
The content of these XML documents will be more or less the same as for our OOo
3.3 update service, found at [2], but will contain download URLs with
corresponding URL parameters in order to identify the OOo version which is using
the update function.

[2]
http://www.openoffice.org/projects/update36/ProductUpdateService/check.Update
No objections so far. Thus, I will go ahead.
Best regards, Oliver.
P.S.:
Remark, for me it looks like that the user experience of upgrading from an
installed OOo 3.2/OOo 3.2.1 to AOO 3.4 does not differ from the user experience
when upgrading from OOo 3.3 to AOO 3.4. Some drawbacks were reported, but it
does not look like to me that upgrading from OOo 3.2/OOo 3.2.1 has different ones.
