There is also a third approach that I keep reminding people of: a
modular installer.
Whatever the approach, I'm 100% with using a way that makes installation
as easy as possible, bearing in mind non-technical users and users on
not-the-latest technology. It's sheer lunacy to spend all this time and
effort on OS software development to then effectively restrict the pool
of people who CAN use again because we didn't think through what happens
when some 14 year old tries to install the X language version via her
mega-slow internet connection in rural Y.
We're not all on fibre optic broadband, the latest operating system and
can hold our own at some hackfest :)
According to the LO Wikipedia page, they want 200 million users (~25 m
today). Well, ambitious, but an awful lot of these will have to come
from non-techy non-urban non-a-lot-of-things background. So let's cater
for them.
Speaking of which, has there ever been any user testing done on the
OO/LO family in terms of installtion and the GUI?
