Subject: [DISCUSS] Distribution FAQ...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

My attempt at a "Distribution FAQ" that I thought might be just appended 
as part of our current, already modified Distribution page is here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/*DRAFT*+Distribution+FAQ

VERY short and sweet. Well, why re-invent the wheel. Lots of information 
available already.

I think we should explicitly address the last item there, but I don't 
know what to say.

I thought the wiki would be a good place for this for now -- both from 
additional editing/discussion and because it's easy to convert the cwiki 
pages to HTML.

It might be best for record keeping to post comments here though in 
addition to making any changes.


Also -- on the current

http://www.openoffice.org/distribution/

we have this sentence...

We've suspended this program, until the Apache OpenOffice project 
determines how a similar service might be enabled in the future, one 
that will give users greater assurance that they are receiving the 
latest version of OpenOffice.

which I suspect we change depending on the outcome of the last item in 
the FAQ page.
