Perfect, thx.
Just so I know, what's the procedure for us doing beta releases?
Where do they go?
this will be our first beta release here at Apache. So, nobody can
tell you what to do / where to go and we have to find the way
together. ;-)
It is "our" second: ;-)
https://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.0-beta/
OK, this is a bit embarrassing. ;-)
I would say we should not do things different (at least not too many)
compared to our normal releases.
After thinking a bit I suggest that we:
- exchange the splash screen with a big and clear hint that it's a
beta (no production use, no regular support, etc.)
When we had already a Beta release then this must be somewhere.
- prepare the install files as a normal release but with special file
names
A build with the special targets (openofficebeta, sdkoobeta,
ooobetalanguagepack) will do this automatically.
- no participation with the update service
--disable-online-update in configure.
- upload the install files to SourceForge in an own subdir
- offer them on our download webpage
If the download page can handle that, it would be perfect.
I think it's a matter of time to get this integrated. But should be
faster than the test phase for the Beta itself.

I don't know how we can to collect the feedback. BZ is not the right
channel for this. Can we create a special beta area in the forums?
What I mean is, is there enough coverage of moderators and power users?

Hello Jim,
the beta version should contain the recent translation, so I will start
to prepare an update of the *.sdf files.
Kind regards

I think we are at a stage where we should consider doing our
1st beta release of 4.2.0... we have successful builds for macOS,
Linux 32 and 64, and Windows; we have a stable 4.2.0-dev branch,
and enough changes to warrant a beta release for testing and
feedback (all IMO ;) ).
Any comments or other thoughts?
