It's nice, even though a bit scary (four different verification
mechanisms are probably overkill); but this will satisfy everybody, so
OK.
I see that many links in that page are broken (e.g., links to Windows
builds, to 64-bit DEBs and so on); I tend to believe this is known
and/or wanted for the time being, but, if it isn't, just click
around on
that page and you will see plenty of broken links.
we can potentially drop one sha checksum ;-)
Yes, for sure.
I have drafted the download page on the project page.
That's good.
An additional link to the (upcoming) official announcement (mail
archive, blog post, etc.) would be good.
http://openofficeorg.staging.apache.org/openofficeorg/downloads.html
Review is appreciated.
- downloads of source files via Apache mirrors
- SDK as well
- checksum files directly from dist
Do you have any special reason to show download links also here?
I initially had only the source files listed there but based on some
discussion (email) to use the Apache mirrors for the SDK as well I
decided to list the SDK here as well.
I think it is common to list at least the source tarballs on this
download page directly because the src tarballs are very important for
Apache. Well for most of our users the binaries are more important but
for that we have the 1-click downloads on www.openoffice.org
Don't get me wrong. These are good arguments - also because we are
actually just one of many ASF podlings.
However, it is still another location to take care for any changes.

All is
(will be) available in the download area (currently here:
"http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/index_new_dl.html"; and
"http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/test/other_new_dl.html";).
Otherwise I would suggest that the webpage points only to the already
existing download webpages. Then we will have less work when updating
downloads.
Source --> http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html#tested-sdk
SDK --> http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html#tested-sdk
Binaries --> http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Checksums --> http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html
If you want to mention the legacy builds it would be great to point also
here to the respective webpage:
"http://www.openoffice.org/download/legacy/index.html";.
If you want to mention the archive in general (prior OOo 3.3.0) this
link is helping: "http://www.openoffice.org/download/archive.html";.
