Hi Martin,
BTW:
Please don't hit me when I use Firefox as example ;-) but Mozilla has also
split it up (fully localized and beta):
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
I am localizing many OS software packages, but not even one requires QA for
every language and every release like OOo does. AFAIK neither does Firefox
(I contributed the Calendar Slovenian translation, but never did any QA,
just tried the builds for translation appearance).
Firefox any many other software projects just ask for translation but
(more or less) no L10N QA. Once the translated strings have been
delivered and integrated the new release is ready.
OOo does this a bit different. AFAIK many years ago it was agreed that
every L10N team should be responsible to test and release their language
build. This could be in a timly manner with the main release (en-US) or
even later. With nearly 100 supported languages I think it's clear that
not every team can do it on the general release date.
The only reason we are all rooting for inclusion of untested builds on the
main download page is to promote OOo and make our localized more present.
Right, and with providing a better download possibility than just a
pointer to a mirror I hope to increase the visibility for every user.
Best regards
Marcus
