We never really deployed these fully, but just used them for a couple of weeks to test the reaction. They are called from the update notification service, so if we change the URL we'll need to update it there as well. I think legacy/thankyou.html page is hard coded in OOo installs. It is called after installing. So we don't want to change that URL. OK In the last 30 days we've had: 45,713 hits to legacy/thankyou.html And zero hits to untranslated.html or eol-nl.html. Great, you have just answered my next questions (how many hits and which page should survive) ;-). if nobody objects I will delete the both 0 hits pages and combine the whole content + updates in "legacy/thankyou.html".

To be precise, that URL is not hard coded. But we are redirecting to it the following hard coded URLs from ancient versions of OpenOffice: https://registration2.services.openoffice.org/ http://registration2.services.openoffice.org/ http://survey.services.openoffice.org/ They were used to "register" the product after installation and possibly for a survey shown to users who were uninstalling it.

[UPDATE SERVICE] New landingpage for languages not included in AOO
Hi all, some time ago Oliver told me that it would be great to have a landing webpage for languages for that we have not (yet) a release but in the past with OpenOffice.org. To reach also these users an update service could be activated and referred to this landing page. To get the best out of this_ - Show the users that there is a new AOO version. ( - Maybe also a short text + link for more details that OpenOffice is now part of Apache as it could be that this is not obvious for users with such old versions.) - Convince the users to download this new version even when their language is not available. - Gain new helpers for localization work.
