I'm drafting the 3.4.1 release announcement blog post. I have a

"Community members are also working on BSD, Solaris and OS/2 ports,

Howdy Rob,
Is this accurate and worth saying?
Yes IIRC and yes IMO.
Would it make sense to also
include links for each of these ports, where the reader can go for
more information?
I would think a better return if instead of putting direct links for
each, create a fixed address (wiki page?) for 'other ports' (or more
appropriate for a title).
Hi Drew--
We have a page -- actually a former "project" at --
http://www.openoffice.org/porting/
that needs a LOT of cleanup.
Any volunteers to take the lead on cleaning this up and just highlighting
what we're dealing with now? FreeBSD, OS/2, and Solaris?
Hi Kay,
Yes, I'll work on that page today and ping the list when it is in
stagging.

SUPER! :)
Great that you want to takeover this task. Just updating would be great
but I fear that you have to start at (nearly ?) zero. ;-)

Link to that from the announcement/blog and would make that a precedent
for future announcements.
Although these are not Apache releases, they are part of the close
ecosystem, with developers working directly in our project to support
these ports. So I think there is some logic to mentioning them in
the
release announcement. But work that happens entirely outside of the
project, like portable applications versions, would not get a
mention.
I would disagree, somewhat, in that personal preference would be to
include the 2 or 3 portable 'wrapper' distributors as this has seemed
to
be of interest to quite a few folks in the past.
Just my .02

Does this seem fair and appropriate?
If we agree to do this, I'll need a link for each of BSD, Solaris and
OS/2, for more information.
The alternative would be to not mention the ports at all.
