All languages in http://download.openoffice.org/other.html have that
column anyway. I don't think it's a big deal.

Oh right. But I think that's just the same problem as with Linux Itanium
and PPC builds. Untested builds could simply not be listed in this column.

yeah, that's where I messed up with my table.... I'll employ ascii art
to illustrate my idea. Please switch to a monospace font:

+-----------------------+--------+----------+------------------+
+------------------+
| Language | Latest | Arch 1 | Arch 2 | ... | Arch n |
+-----------------------+--------+----------+------------------+
+------------------+
...
+-----------------------+--------+----------+------------------+
+------------------+
| Lithuanian Lietuvių | 3.1.1 | Download | Tested (3.1.0) | ... | Tested
(3.0.1) |
| | | | Untested (3.1.1) | | Untested (3.1.1) |
+-----------------------+--------+----------+------------------+
+------------------+
...


As you see, both versions can obviously be listed, and that's exactly
what I propose.

And here's what could be done to save some horizontal space:
1) the "Latest Release" column could be removed;
2) Columns like "Linux 32-bit RPM" and "Linux 32-bit DEB" could be
merged, into one, and provide links to both DEB and RPM versions in the
same fashion as above (other merge criterias could be used too).

I'm OK with separate tables. But I'd prefer to see them all on the same
page.
