OpenOffice.org usually didn't put a lot of emphasis on beta releases, so 
we (I mean, Italian lists, including the new one at Apache, and the 
Italian forum) still receive comments and questions only on 3.3.0 or 
older releases.

The target public for beta releases is usually power users, but those 
that I know are able to file bugs in BugZilla themselves, and likely 
already did so.

It's one of the few features that 100% of users notice...

No, but getting back the TCM (manual testing) testcases and starting 
some QA would surely help. At this point, however, it seems that OOo 3.4 
beta (the LGPL one from April 2011) is not the best one to base a QA 
session on.
