Even with a small group this would be nice to have, it allows a more effective communication. No decisions would be taken, but the dev list would be informed of what was discussed.

Introduction to Contributing to Apache OpenOffice Module
Who are you, where are you from, what are you interested in? Hi, My name is Shane Sheridan and I am a computer science student in Dublin, Ireland. I am interested in open source for personal computing as well as more advanced high performance computing applications. So, I want to volunteer my time to contribute in any way possible. This is a great method of using and developing my computer science knowledge. Regards, Shane

Etta -- In order to assist you further with this problem, we would need to get a copy of this document for testing. I would strongly urge you to take this up on the OpenOffice Forums where you could easily attach it for review. Please navigate to: https://forum.openoffice.org/ to get started. You will need to apply for a forum account.

OK, when Infra is now fine with linking to the dev builds from the public download webpage, then I can insert a respective box. Is linking to the CWiki page or the buildbots preferred? In order to better differentiate, we will need an intermediate page. I've put a draft at http://www.openoffice.org/download/devbuilds.html (currently not linked to from anywhere) to make the proposal clearer. Also the link in the download page can be in the right hand side column and not in the boxes, for better differentiation (the beta is meant for testing but is formally approved; daily builds are REALLY meant only for testing). 2) (an idea from another PMC member) Hold 2-3 informal meetings on Google Hangout or similar platform, ... for example Wednesday or Thursday at 4PM for the next 2-3 weeks. Could it work? I haven't heard of this idea until today. Is it listed somewhere on dev@? No, you didn't miss anything. That is a proposal I'm bringing to dev now. It came from a personal conversation, so I wanted to make it clear it is not my idea, even though I certainly support it. We said it was to be brought to the lists, but time passed and I'm bringing it here now since it would be useful in the weeks before the release.

Otherwise you have to change the page again and again depending on time, release mode, purpose, etc. As I wrote at the beginning of the thread, so far it would be enough for me to have these builds visible during the beta-to-final phase. Then, if we find out it's useful, we can discuss it further, but focus now should be in having builds more visible in this phase.

No links to snapshots from the website. It is ASF policy. No advertising of snapshots, but we can let developers know on this list.
