Hello Dave, Thanks for writing and welcome to the Apache OpenOffice project! You can read some more about the project and how we work here: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/ (Just scan that material for background info) Setup/install is an area where we have a lot of room for improvement. Juergen and Dave Fischer mentioned the code signing side of this. Another area is to look at possibilities for incremental patch updates. Currently we require users to download/install the full version for every update.
