[DRAFT] AOO 3.4.1 Release Announcement for Review
https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=announcing_apache_openoffice_3_4
Comments are welcome.
Some updates I know we'll need are:
1) The 11 million downloads claim will go to 12 or 13 depending on
when we release
2) The defect fix count should be updated. Does anyone have an
accurate count? I think we want to count only net bugs fixed compared
to AOO 3.4.0, not bugs that we both introduced and fixed in AOO 3.4.1.
Perhaps we can take comments for a day or so, and I'll update to
reflect feedback. At that point volunteers might prepare
translations. Any translations we have at release time I can link to
from the blog post.
Regards,
-Rob

I found
"Support for Windows XP-Windows 8 (32-bit)"
a bit difficult to read at first. Perhaps put
"Support for Windows from XP up to Windows 8 (32-bit)"

If I log in with my Roller account, I can see the preview.
It appears that the URL is actually
<https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=announcing_apache_openoffice_3_41>.

I had a quick look about 24 hours ago and the text seemed fine. But I
cannot access the URL now (well, I can, but I only see the "Apache
OpenOffice (incubating)" title and an empty page).

Sure; if we have the English text available, volunteers are ready to
translate the text into Italian (and probably more languages). What is
the recommended URL to use for translated versions?
Regards,
Andrea.

In addition we know that the Check for Updates only works for version >= 3.2 (correct?)

I've only 2 points:
1.
"OpenOffice 3.4.1 can be downloaded now from http://www.openoffice.org
or by going to the the Help/Check for Updates dialog within OpenOffice."
Wouldn't it be better to change the link directly to the download
section (http://www.openoffice.org/download/)? Especially as the
one-click-download on our starting portal page is no longer available.
So, the user has to come to ".../download/index.html" anyway.
2.
"We are targeting January 2013 for Apache OpenOffice 3.5.0."
I'm surprised to see already a date for 3.5.0. Have I missed a thread
with this? Even when, I would prefer to read a timeframe like "... first
quarter of 2013" or if you really want "... beginning of first quarter
of 2013" ...".
Otherwise I fear that we could again have a problem to keep the release
date.
My 2 ct.
Otherwise really good text. :-)

There is now on staging on the ES site a translation for the release
announcement, ready to be published. I can edit it later if changes
are made on the original.

from Juergen's info in the [VOTE] call..
1) 71 issues are fixed and a detailed list can be watched under
http://s.apache.org/Huv.
I will be changing this in the "Release Notes" very soon...

I've updated to 12 million, which we hit yesterday. Hopefully we're
release before we hit 13.
