Speaking in the name of Serbian OOo community: - We are able to localize UI and keep it at 100% for several releases now for both Serbian Cyrillic (sr) and Serbian Latin (sh), making our own builds for Microsoft Windows and deb packages for GNU/Linux and distributing them from http://sr.openoffice.org/preuzmi.html (where http://download.openoffice.org/other.html is linking to this page) - We are working on help localization but we are far behind something like even 50% as there are other things we need to do first (spell checking, better hyphenation patterns, thesaurus, extensions and templates site localization, iz#97653 - Cyrillic support in digital signatures etc.) In the current process here are the issues we are facing with: Having just a language pack mean that users have to ***install English version first*** (navigating through Installation wizard on English language even we did translate all these messages), then install language pack, start OOo on English, go to Preferences, change UI language and restart OOo. I believe this is ***unnecessary complicated***. Some users will try to do it and fail or may start using English release. This is why we will continue to make our or kindly ask Pavel Janik and Maho Nakata to create full installation sets for sr and sh. But we would like to have ***auto-update feature inside our builds***. I got an impression that this is only possible with official builds. If I am wrong, I would like to know how can I enable this when compiling OOo for Microsoft Windows or GNU/Linux. Another issue is ***visibility of our builds***. Over 50% of sr.openoffice.org visitors come from www.openoffice.org so it is very important for us to have download.js script and http://download.openoffice.org/other.html page updated. In the past Frank Mau kindly did this by request but even months after 3.0.1 release I can not get this page updated. Some policy on this will be good to have. To conclude, having an official build for us will mean: More platforms + Better visibility + Auto Update Any other solution that can lead us to there will work great for us. Hosting is the least problem for us and we don't care much if Serbian builds are present on the mirror network or not.
