one question, because i don't get it... you are able to write email to official apache mailing list, but you are NOT able to download official OpenOffice from this website?
Well, this is not a web site, of course.
i really don't understand that!
I do.
it was called openoffice.org, this is also the official link of website...
People called it Open Office. It's now called Apache OpenOffice. There are no "org"s about.
google makes stupid i suggest.
If you search for "open office" you will indeed get all sorts of unfortunate references. But after downloading something inappropriate, a user may then find the real site when searching further for assistance.
As you may realise, www.openoffice.org redirects to soureceforge.net for the actual download. On the actual Sourceforge download page, there is a small legend at the top saying that the download will start shortly. It will. But there are various large green "Download" buttons on that page which lead to other, no doubt unwanted, material - which may well be considered malware. I wonder how many users imagine that to download the product they need to click such a "Download" button: that would be a not unreasonable idea! This way, they will receive the unwanted material along with the real thing.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
