If I go to www.openoffice.org there is nice big green button "download
OpenOffice.org". If I click this button I am taken to a generic download page on
which I can select which language and OS I want to download. Selecting a
language (or English and platform) takes me to a second generic download page.
This second page is identical for all languages I tried. At the bottom of this
page is a button that says "download".

If I click this button and I've selected English the download starts
immediately. If I have selected a different language then I am taken to the
localisation page.

Surely the correct thing is that if I've selected en-GB or en-US (or other
flavours of English in the future) when I click "download", the relevant version
should immediately start downloading exactly as for en-US. I see no need for
another page in between! I see no need to treat en-US and en-GB any differently.

Surely this is not a problem?

Obviously the en-GB version needs to be on the mirrors. We have advised the
releases team of its availability (months ago). I'm only involved in
localisation so I don't understand the details of how releases move through the
system into distribution. All I know is that we announced its availability along
with OOo 2.0 beta and it is still not yet available through the web site.

As skoorb mentioned en-GB is chosen by people out of preference. This is
particularly important as OOo moves into trials in UK schools, and it is also
important to some international organisations trialling alternatives to MSOffice
(they use British English as standard).
