[DL Website] Prototype of an automatic table with download links

Hi all,

as promized on Friday I've adjusted the existing automatism to the 
lastest AOO 3.4.1 parameters.

The most recent webpage is here:
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/other_print.html

I'm open for opinions. Otherwise I can put it easily to the production 
website as the new "other.html".

Marcus

Thanks :-)

I was busy the last hours and have started the re-work.

The reduction is already quite nice. Only 1 "download.js" is left. The 
new "download_tables.js" is for the new "other.html" file only. Also 
"globalvars.js" is smaller. I've also adjusted a bit the "languages.js".

And - at least for me on Linux - all is still working. :-)

PS:
I don't write you this to push you to something. It's just that I want 
to let you know that it was indeed time to do this. The reduction is 
really great.

I've changed it in a way that max. 4 languages are printed and than a 
new sub-table header.

With the most high screen resolutions nowadays this should fit. On my 
screen the visible part begins with "Start of page" and it ends with this.

Ah, right. With the combined table (full install, langpacks, hashes) 
it's still after 10 languages but actually a lot of big rows more which 
is indeed to much. I'll change it tomorrow.

Much better.

Maybe the go back to the top break in the language group should be more frequent than every 10?

As "fast solution" I've deleted every second language strings and 
expanded the row highlighting.

Dave, what do you think?

Only for the source files, not for the hash files, right? Done.

To have all in a single table it's easier to point the user to resp. the 
user has only to remember this.

I'll think about the span thing.

There is one change needed with the source downloads. Please use the Apache Mirrors and not dist directly for the packages. See [1].

Should the language packs be mixed with the full installation sets? If so then maybe the language fields should span two rows?
