[DOWNLOAD] Switched the download service from "download.services.openoffice.org"
to "openoffice.mirrorbrain.org"
Hi all,
as I don't know when exactly the shutdown will take place and I don't
know if I'm around to do the switch, I've done it now.
- http://download.services.openoffice.org/
+ http://openoffice.mirrorbrain.org/
This is to make sure we can continoue to deliver the OOo 3.3.0 and older
release bits for the short term. Until we have a secondary or - even
better - mid-term/long-term solution.
Again, thanks to Peter Poeml that we can use his service and for his
offer to take this into a permanent solution. :-)
For details please check the SVN post on the ooo-commits@ ML.

Done
I've also updated some links (e.g., extensions.services.openoffice.org
--> extensions.openoffice.org) and reworked some text.
The webpages to download OOo 3.3.0 RC 10, OOO 3.4 Beta and developer
snapshot releases from DEV300 / OOO330 codelines are now just redirects
to the main download webpage.

Of course a good idea do "hide" links to (now really) superflous
releases. However, it would be better to comment them out to keep the
functionality for the future.
I will put them back but with comments, so that it will look like now
--> blank and not available.
You can still download the Beta and RC bits if you know how. I've an
idea to get rid of them, too.
Looks like a little todo for me for the weekend. :-)

In general yes. But maybe we should wait until we have our release
published. Then we can discuss about when to do new releases.

I removed the links to legacy release candidates, betas and developer builds. Their continued presence on the site will only confuse people.
I think that the "Release Schedule" link[1] needs some attention.

BTW:
On the bottom of "http://www.openoffice.org/download/" you can see a
banner logo with linkback to Mirrorbrain. This is there since, hm, 2-3
years maybe. But of course we can enhance this much more.

This is great.
I think we need to start thinking about a "Thanks" page on the
website. Aside from direct volunteer efforts on the project,we're
starting to benefit from what I'd call "in kind" contributions from
3rd parties, such as what we're seeing here,and with SourceForge.
We should give recognition where it is deserved. Is there some
protocol for doing this at Apache?
