ups I agree, (I am just a developer) I simply have only loaded trunk.

I thought  a flyer and much other documentation (help, user, installation)
was "hanging" on a release, whereas  marketing is more general/timeless. In
the flyer is e.g. our platforms, which for sure is release dependent.
Please excuse me if that is already handled in /marketing.

Correct, is marketing the only issue here ? I have spent some time (not
related to l10n) to look into how we could handle translations in
writer/impress etc. and the answer is today "bad". But we could make a
workflow and that would be a start.

Actually translation support was something I hoped for in 4.0.

AndI was just concerned about the text itself, you are quite right in
pointing at the other issues.
