I took a look. Two things that I noticed.
1) It refers the reader to this URL for the latest version of the README:
http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/readme.html
But that page does not appear to have been updated since OOo 3.0. Is
that URL correct? If so I can enter a BZ issue so we remember to
update the contents of that page with the latest README. On the other
hand, shouldn't this really be a per-version readme file?
Yes, the web page must be updated before release. And, as for the
per-version URL (like readme-400.html), this is a tradeoff to decide
upon, since this requires manual changes at every release in all cases.
So: either we "archive" old READMEs and link them from
http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/readme.html or we use a specific URL.
Considering string freeze and translations, it's probably better to do
the former (archive the old ones) since it can be centralized and has a
lesser impact on contributors.
2) The README has many references to the Solaris platform, which is
not supported in the release. Should that be migrated into a separate
readme that would be distributed by the Solaris port?
The Solaris-specific strings are not displayed on other operating
systems (you will see CSS classes that are used to suppress them at the
above URL). That said, they are probably outdated and irrelevant indeed.
I didn't move strings since it might have had an impact on translation.

Andrea.
