I think we still want to gradually enable the upgrade notifications over the next week. Maybe we start with those that have good NL download pages. But at the end, we really need to enable everyone to upgrade. AOO 3.4 has important security patches. So at the end, if there is no good NL page we would direct them to the default English page. And if we get an improved NL page in the future, we can add support for that, > Another question for discussion: > Does it make sense to adapt the URL parameter "utm_source=OOo3_3" to > "utm_source=OOo3_3_[language code]" in order to distinguish the languages on > this level? > Not really necessary.
