It looks like you did see my earlier post.

I don't think we should have a dedicated list for mirrorbrain
operators.  But we should have a list of OpenOffice distributors in
general, whether mirror operators, those seeding torrents,
distributing CD's or even just hosting their own copy of AOO (CNet,
FileHippo, etc.).   There is a number of topics that all of these
parties have in common:

1) When is the next release coming?

2) What will the matrix of languages and OS's be, so I can prepare?

3) What is the latest branding and artwork associated with this
release so I can start updating my website?

4) Is there some urgent news that I need to be aware of, like a flawed
release file that should be immediately withdraw?
