As this is our first beta release at Apache, I would like to clarify
some
things before it's maybe too late to change the facts and to prepare
webpages:
1. Target group
It is intended to be downloaded for the general public, right?
2. Hosting
We are planning to host the files at Sourceforge, right?
3. File names:
Of course the file names of the install files have to show a difference
compared to the general release files. Suggestion:
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Beta_Win_x86_install.exe
*If* there is a need to publish another round, it could be extended
with a
number like:
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Beta2_Win_x86_install.exe
4. Directory structure:
Is it OK to expect to use the same dir structure like we have
currently for
4.0.1?
In general, yes, but please keep in mind that our Mac builds are now
64bit. I assume that the directories that contain the Mac downloads got
renamed (Servers are currently down so I can not check).
This is currently the complete path to the AOO 4.0.1 install files,
example for English US:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.0.1/binaries/en-US/
There is no part included to reflect the OS and I don't know of an idea
to do so. Or have I misunderstood you?
Marcus
The above makes sense to me.
5. Download webpage:
Is it OK to expect to offer the download on our main download webpage?
http://www.openoffice.org/download/
If yes, I can build up a download offer like we have for the green
box. To
ease the download as best as possible.
I would not make this the default download option for users. We still
want most users to download AOO 4.0.1. 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!
