Rob,
Hi! This looks so good! I do have some suggestions.
1. ' send a request to the ooo-dev mailing list and we can make a
translated version for you. ' takes you to the page of MANY mailing lists. I
can see someone getting overwhelmed here. People are not going to scroll too
far down that list - maybe a direct link to the page for translations without
all of the choices - or - place a quick link button for Translations at the top
of the mailing list page?
2. Items 2, 3 and 4 talk about the means for linking the logo - I
really like the yellow example below this (including the alt!) - could this be
placed above 2,3 and 4 as simply 'Here is a copy/paste link to use. If you do
not use this copy/past link and want to personalize it further, these are the
rules you must follow: (insert 2,3,4)' I think this would encourage the
copy/paste (with the alt for SEO!)- and it offers an easy copy/paste connection
for those that are not into coding - but want a quick link.
Also, could the Image link include an alt="Download Apache OpenOffice
here" that would help - currently it is <img style="-webkit-user-select:none;
"src="http://incubator.apache.org/openoffficeorg/images/get-it-here/en.png"; />

Here is the new page on the website. (It is not linked to from anywhere yet)

I'd like to kick this off with a blog post in the next week or so. So
if anyone sees anything urgently wrong, please speak up now.
