[RELEASE]: Beta downloads and feedback and a proposed way to the final
Hi, we have already 92,000 Beta downloads via SF, I can't say exactly how many full install sets and how many of them are language packs only. But I think the number is quite good we should be able to find serious problems if only 50% use the beta for some real testing under normal work conditions. But I don't know ... For now I haven't seen really serious problems which of course is good but maybe I have overseen something. Anyway if we don't get serious issues until March 30th I plan to prepare and provide the first final RC on the 31th. The vote will start immediately after the upload ... The idea is to have the AOO 4.1 is place for the ApacheCon (7.-.11. April) or even better announce it during the ApacheCon. Any opinions on this plan?

Does it makes sense to make more or less all headings on our website

Are there alternatives to improve the visibility of heading?
Should we make all heading italic or larger?

Best regards, Oliver.
Rainer has a point. I remember at one time that h3 (probably the main
concern here) used to display as described in styles.css
h3.subSection{font-style:italic;text-transform:uppercase;font-size:1.3em;font-weight:bold;}
I'm not sure what's changed to produce what's happening now.
css/ooo.css is the default supplied by Apache CMS but our local style
sheets, also brought in, should override this. (And, yes, they are a bit
of a mess!)
Well I can help with this but I'm not what the processing order is now.
Thanks for the offer to help here.
I used Firefox's build-in Inspector and Style Editor (Menu Tools - Web
Developer - Inspector|Style Editor) to investigate the used styling.
Best regards, Oliver.

Proposal to delete unused modules
I would like to propose to delete two unused modules: main/splitbuild and main/writerperfect - splitbuild looks like a collection of files that drive (drove) some sort of build script to build selected parts of OpenOffice. It may or may not be related to what is described in [1]. splitbuild depends on postprocess but nothing depends on splitbuild, therefore it is not used in any of our builds. - writerperfect is a second module that is not used anymore. The only module that depends on writerperfect is splitbuild. = There are some references in sysui to the wpf file format (application/vnd.writerperfect). = There is a configure switch --with-system-libwpd. It would trigger the building of library libwpft, which is referenced in postprocess and scp2, but without a dependency on module writerperfect this library is never built and using --with-system-libwpd could only lead to an error. Does anybody know of any reason not to delete the two modules?
