Excellent! I have downloaded the 2GB version 0.9 that Herbert Duerr has preserved at his Apache account (though I don't know what to do with it yet), and Rob Weir is sending me a memory card with his material. (Herbert's "latest" link does not appear to resolve to an available file or there are permission problems with it.)
We should work to see what can be done to integrate this material (if necessary) and then decide how to preserve a historical snapshot with its history. I have a contact at the Computer History Museum who will also see whether preservation there will be provided as well. Whether it is accessible on-line there is a different matter, and it may depend on whether there is any proprietary content (such as original Star Division work done before OpenOffice.org emerged). So if we fix the point of snapshot with its preceding history, there should be ways to preserve it in more than one place and also make some or all of it accessible on-line. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Thorsten Behrens [mailto:t...@documentfoundation.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 4, 2015 01:56 To: Rob Weir Cc: dev@openoffice.apache.org; Herbert Duerr Subject: Re: Some old OOo SVN dumps, of use to anyone?

It is indeed of great help for ongoing development, to be able to re-trace the history of individual code changes.
