I have a number of items.  I can fix the URLs in (2) below after I have updated 
the Windows set.

  1. This is worded as if it is the advisory.  I assume this is, rather, 
something that should be linked to from an update of the advisory.  I request 
that it be a description of the HotFix.  It could link to the advisory, of 
course.  RECOMMENDATION: Have the emphasis be on this describing release of the 
hotfix for CVE-2016-1513.

  2. Download and Installation.  Currently, this page is at 
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-patch1/hotfix.html>.  
It has *ABSOLUTE* URLs to the binaries and source and the various hashes.  WHEN 
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION OCCURS, this page and all of the binaries and source pages 
will be at 
<https://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.2-patch1>.  RECOMMENDATION: In 
the Download & Installation table, make all URLS *RELATIVE* to the HotFix page, 
since when it is staged to release and then to archive, the links will always 
work.  
     NOTE. When we make general distribution, we stage the HotFix HTML page and 
the binaries subfolder to 
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/openoffice/4.1.2-patch1> using SVN 
copies.  In 24-48 hours or so that material will show up automatically on 
archive.apache.org and we can make the general distribution announcement.  The 
dist.apache.org materials can be removed when that happens.  WARNING. The 
Windows material is not ready, and some renaming will happen.  That should all 
be done by the end of Tuesday (GMT).  

  3. Next Step under Download and Installation.  The README for Windows 
addresses the way to Unzip and provides important information about how the 
extract is into a folder of a default-determined name.  I don't know if the 
others provide comparable information and/or operating from a terminal is 
assumed.

  4. How to verify the download & installation.  Verifying the Zip is 
sufficient.  The table does not identify the files those check cases are from 
so it is not at all clear what value this is.  RECOMMENDATION: If it is 
valuable, we should include the additional hashes inside the Zips, and provide 
the size and time stamp information in the individual README files.  That way 
there is no redundancy and the information is maintained in exactly one place.
