From what I have seen on this topic so far:
- Mac users (three? ) have commented that they do not have an issue with
the current installer.
- In the initial thread, many Windows Users indicated that an update
mechanism would be great.
- Some commented the current Windows installer leaves artifacts behind
- Windows Installer does not detect/remove previous installations
- Lots (vast) amounts of discussion on packaging in Linux
- some have question if distributing packages is a good thing
What would be nice to see discussion on from the *community*:
- How do you expect LibO to be updated?
- What are your use cases of Install/Update
- Other programs have separate updating programs (iTunes being an
example), if it was technically feasible, would having this feature be
useful to you?
- Would having a download site/accessible package repository be of value
to you?

Thanks for the great summary. I agree, direction from the whole
community on this, now that we have hashed it out a bit, would give
clearer direction of expectations.This would have to be presented as a
new thread. Scott, the placement of the platforms would all have to show
in the same order in the sentences with a little rewording. The choice
of vocabulary would have to be within everybody's grasp of their
understanding in English -- clear wording. It could be something like this?
=======================
From what we have heard on this topic so far:
- Mac users have commented that they do not have an issue with the
current installer available on the Mac platform.
- Window users indicated that an update mechanism would be great. Some
commented that the current Windows installer leaves artifacts behind.
Windows installer does not detect/remove previous installations properly.
- Linux users have discussed vast amounts opinions on packaging in
Linux. Some have questioned if distributing packages is a good thing.
-----------------------
This survey is to gauge the views of the LibO community on the
install/update method of LibO. Please voice your opinion so that these
considerations may be taken into account when the LibO method of
install/update is studied by the developer team.
- How do you expect LibO to be updated?
- What are your use cases of Install/Update
- Other programs have separate updating programs (iTunes being an
example), if it was technically feasible, would having this feature be
useful to you?
- Would having a download site/accessible package repository be of value
to you?
=======================
This is just an example of how we could phrase it to the community. Feel
free to modify are rework completely. But I think that Scott did put all
of these arguments in correctly.
This could then be put to the community as a new thread and the results
could be monitored/taken into note for the future planning of the LibO
method of updates from the dev team.
