I see that filenames look like
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_it.tar.gz
Shouldn't they have a "m1" or some other identifier that identifies them
as "not final"?
Yes, I'd prefer that too. But up to now all such snapshots were named as
like that (equal to the target version) and there wasn't too much confusion.
We'll have a similar situation when we get to vote on the next release
candidates. They HAVE to be named like the final version, even if they
are only release candidates and may fail the vote. Temporarily renaming
the release candidate install packages to contain "rcN" and naming them
back to their final name might work. All the checksum and signature
files have to be updated too then.
I also suggest to rename the macos part of Mac packages to OSX (or osx).
The name "Mac OS" [1] was dropped since Mac OS X and Mac OS X lost the
"Mac" part since 10.7 (a.k.a. "Lion"). I thing that avoiding a space
character between OS and X, because spaces in installation packages
cause more trouble than adhering 100% to Apple's naming scheme.

I suggest to move this page into our MediaWiki instead where generated
markup can be directly used.
As you wish. No problem for me, of course. Actually, considering the
audience, your link [2] above is just fine. I believe testers will be
able to find what they need.
Yes. The Wiki update is still in progress, Andre is working on a script
to automate it for MediaWiki. Thanks to Kay's note about the enabled
Html-Extension in the Confluence Wiki we could keep it there too though.
This needs some more minor adjustments to the new script.
I also suggest to use a different name for these kinds of snapshots,
because the buildbots provide a different of snapshot [5] that are not
built for maximum compatibility. How about renaming the release-like
snapshots to "milestone"?
Milestone is OK for me.
And with an e.g. "m1" marker we could say the 'm' is for milestone.
