I just had an interesting exchange with someone who I assume saw
the "Flash" on the OOo home page about OOo for Mac-Intel and
asked on the users list if we anticipate developing a version to
be compatible with Macs that do not have the Intel chip?" Of
course I responded that we have such a version of OOo already,
and pointed the questioner to the Mac downloads page.
He wrote back offlist to thank me and said "I must not have
looked closely enough at the website", to which I responded "I'm
not surprised you couldn't find it. That page is extremely well
hidden."
Indeed, the fact that OOo runs on the Mac is nowhere mentioned on
the home page, nor is it mentioned on the page that the
"multiplatform" link takes you to. Why is this? It seems like a
serious oversight to me.
It's true that if you go to the main downloads page and choose
Macintosh in the dropdown list of OSs, you'll get taken to the
Mac page. But if there is no previous indication that OOo is
available for the Mac, why would potential new users go there in
the first place?
