Hi :) I thought the 3.3.x was going to be the stable branch for corporate users and the 3.4.x was only going to be for early-adopters as it is becoming recognised as development/testing branch.
Obviously we want to encourage people to use a development/testing/cooking/early-adopters branch but not in scenarios where they need something that is guaranteed to be stable for at least a year. The comment on the web-page made it very unclear. Is there going to be a well recognised development branch? or are we going to have to guess which releases are less stable than others?

The LibreOffice download page has the following statement: <quote> Safely for production need by most users - LibreOffice 3.4.2, available at the end of July, will target enterprise deployments. <unquote> Since I am going out to promote LibreOffice locally, should I promote 3.3.3/3.3.4 for businesses/schools/etc., or should I wait for 3.4.2 to come out for these businesses and schools? Also the "will target enterprise deployments" part of the statement is rather "limiting" to me. Some people could think that 3.4.2 is not appropriate for the personal use or small business use. To be honest, I have not tried 3.4.1 on my desktop, yet. I have 3.3.3 on my Ubuntu desktop, but yesterday I installed it on my Vista laptop. I did not try it out, much, after I installed it though. So the question really is, once 3.4.2 comes out, should I/we start promoting it to businesses or continue promoting the 3.3.x line? -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
