The above makes sense to me. > 5.

So keep the first box on /download.html as it is now. Maybe a yellow box (yellow == caution) with language that makes it clear that this is beta and gives the URL for reporting bugs. Were you thinking of a language/platform switch logic for the beta? Or just a link to a "beta_other.html" page with a table of links? If we do the table, then we would have room on the same page to give a prominent warning, a link to BZ, Release Notes, etc. Thanks! -Rob > Thanks > > Marcus > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
