It might help if you stated, in your own words, what you think should
be done. Make a mini-proposal: what pages will be added, etc.
I think Dave's proposal in http://markmail.org/thread/6ozfpfo5xcigyw6j
is now moving things forward in the most reasonable way.
1) Treat PrOOoBox as a 3rd party distribution and include it in a page
where we describe other 3rd party distributions.
Let's start from this one. This is something we need to do in any case,
because in general we need to give much, much more visibility to third
parties and 4.0 is the occasion to do so.
So in concrete, what we need to implement Dave's proposal is:
1) A description of PrOOoBox (two lines in English) from the PrOOoBox
volunteers; send it in any form you wish, even here by e-mail, and it
will be added to the "Available now" section of
http://www.openoffice.org/porting/
2) A German version of http://www.openoffice.org/porting/ that will live
at http://www.openoffice.org/de/porting/ or similar (improving the
layout is not forbidden of course!); this can be provided by any
German-speaking volunteer, it's not a lot of text.
3) Then the German site can publish news about PrOOoBox, linked to
http://www.openoffice.org/de/porting/ and everybody is happy.
2) (more work) make PrOOoBox be an official product of the project.
If we do that then we can announce it via all the resources we have.
I'll be very happy if this happens, and surely the PrOOoBox volunteers
can receive any guidance they need if they want to do this too. But the
other option can definitely be done in a few days, while this one takes
more time. So I suggest that we start with the other option and that,
when that is online, we continue talking about this option (making
PrOOoBox official) if the PrOOoBox volunteers want to do so.
Regards,
Andrea.
