It is important that we don't fall in the "release and forget" trap,
i.e., "this bug was already known when 4.0 was released, so it doesn't

the old proposed blockers: some of them might have become more relevant.
in theory and with an idealistic view I would agree but for practical
reason I don't. You should not forget that issues have to be fixed as well.
We should really be careful here and should focus on the most serious
issues only. From my point of view many proposed showstoppers for 4.0
were no showstopper and why should we prioritize them now.
We shouldn't prioritize them, just look at them again. My suggestion was
to have regressions and old nominated blockers as PROPOSED blockers
(status: ?), not as blockers (status: +). Some will have to be rejected
again, obviously; but it is very bad, as a user and a community member,
to get an answer like my (made up) example above. Of course, anybody who
is concerned can propose an issue as a blocker, but a quick review makes
sense in my opinion.
we have volunteers who are ready to
work and Pootle is not ready yet for their language, or it only offers
3.4.1. See http://markmail.org/message/4oxacrviktdbmbcv for more.
where are the issues? Where are the volunteers to work on this? Nobody
should plan with other peoples time and willingness
One issue: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122910
As for the volunteers, I understand that the Pootle update is a lot of
work, as I wrote. Fact is, this lot of work is instrumental in
attracting volunteers successfully and will remain the same amount of
work whether done now or after 4.0.1. And doing it now (or soon) is a
nice opportunity for the project for a combination of reasons:
OpenOffice 4.0 had great exposure, volunteers want to translate it into
their language, Summer is the best period for people to contribute in
their spare time, telling someone that his efforts will be turned into
an official release next month is very motivating... But indeed so far
you are the only one who actually did this Pootle administration work.

Andrea.
