Something else we need to do to prepare for the release: Update the NL pages for the newly supported languages. AOO 3.4.1 adds support for 5 more languages. Just in time for the Olympic Games we now have the UI translation for British English. Other languages added are Khmer, Finnish, Slovak and Slovenian. The NL pages are here (no NL page needed for en-GB): http://www.openoffice.org/km/ http://www.openoffice.org/fi/ http://www.openoffice.org/sk/ http://www.openoffice.org/sl/ Some of them are in good shape already and will just need to update the download links and maybe add an announcement about the AOO 3.4.1 release. Others need more work. -Rob > Of course, these are preparations only at this point.
