There are two issues I would like to bring up here...
1) Download statistics for localized versions
2) Localized versions in beta-phase
Statistics
----------
Until recently, we could find detailed statistics about downloads here:
http://ooopackages.good-day.net/bouncer/query_chart.rb . Unfortunately
the statistics dosn't contain data from later than december 31th. In my
oppinion these data are crusual for us. We - Marcons and NLC's have no
longer any idea of how our marketing efforts are working or even how
many users we have.
I would like to get this issue some priority in the future.
The issue has been raised on the marketing list, but nobody seems to
tak'e ownership for this problem.
Localized betas
---------------
When 3.2 was published we needed 5 RC's before we could get it out.
If I take a look at my own project, we didn't actually participate in
the beta testing. The reason for this was, that we had to spend our time
testing the localization. We didn't see the result of our localization
efforts before RC1. I think it would be a good idea to compile localized
versions in the beta phase. That way we could finish testing the
localization earlier and therefore participate in the beta-testing and
testing of RC's.
