I think the setup we ahve right now -- linking to the wiki that then
links to developer areas (possibly) is fine.
We might think about moving the developer editions to SourceForge but
maybe an additional step we don't need.
ok for this, see below...

We have two different kinds of builds, the "OpenOffice" builds and the
"OOo-Dev" builds. See the note in red at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds
(they are also called "with/without system integration" respectively).
OK, I see this note and I confess I don't pay much attention to it, and
typically install in parallel for these. But, I keep the same "user
profile" if you will, and this doesn't seem to cause problems for me.
Right now this note says:
"This week's builds are built without system integration."
Is the the "normal"?
If it is, maybe we could just omit the explanations altogether so as not
to confuse anyone.
And as I understand it, snapshot build (which is also a kind of developer
version) is made like an installation.
The package layout does not change, but the idea is that an OOo-Dev
build (and 350m1, the one at the URL above, is an OOo-Dev build) can be
installed alongside an existing version of OpenOffice, so you can
install it on your machine and keep running your stable OpenOffice
together with it. This makes it ideal for testing. In the case of an
OpenOffice build, you can still do the same, but it's a bit trickier,
like needing to use "setup /a" on Windows (again, see the page and
linked resources for all details).
Regards,
Andrea.
