This meant "I don't have time...", which means I'll try to provide
builds once I'm on holidays (but not yet traveling).

Ah, I see now. Brian's example of an ambiguous sentence was from your 
mail (where you repeated the process using your own words), not from the 
website. Well, at this point I think we'll have to wait for Brian to 
give specific suggestions on how to reword 
http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html then.

I know this, but it looks like the CMS dosen't like me atm. I'm able to 
commit, but for some reason publishing dosen't work. No matter if I use 
the web interface or the publish.pl. I know from infra that they have 
quite often problemes with the Apache CMS and they add no new project to 
it. So maybe I'm a victim of this problem. I'll talk to Joe from infra.

OK no problem. I already wrote: "But the PMC Should decide."

I had only answered here, _because_ Raphael had asked here.

I think we could change the problematic wording reported by Brian

"[c]ompare it with the value of the downloaded hash file"

into

"[c]ompare it with the content of the downloaded hash file"

I also suspect that the fact that *.md5 files cannot be opened in a
straightforward way in Windows contributes to the confusion, since the
user can't immediately see that the .md5 file is just one line of text
with information.

This is a personnel matter and Raphael's request should be made to and

There are means for reinstating former PMC members and that is to be taken up

Well, I already made one containing the orb from the images that were
available for the Google+ page:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5VAaY4mqQVhNe8j7fZCEfw

But I like these old b/w pictures. My idea was a picture of a bunch of
old TV sets... I will look further. ;-)

I have already linked some videos in the playlist...
The "problem" with test4u.eu is, there is a HUGE number of videos, and
they are all for OpenOffice.org 3.3 but labeled as Apache OpenOffice 3.3.
I'm not quite sure how to integrate them. But I will contact Stelios for
that matter.

Yes but this is not a mandatory requirement. Especially for a Youtube

in the public domain, from http://www.loc.gov/pictures/ or a similar

It's totally right now for me.

@raphael:
I do not really understand your approach. Normally(*) you are either PMC member

@all:
At the moment the concrete work on new versions of AOO is more important than 
questions concerning the PMC, but I think next year (maybe after the summer

I think there are currently some members who are no longer active in the

We, AOO comitters, are supposed to work on this.
The repo is https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/buildbot

The file containing the buildbot configuration is
^/aegis/buildmaster/master1/openofficeorg.conf

The web page on https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/
is ^/aegis/buildmaster/master1/public_html/projects/openoffice/
and the dynamic content is generated with a script on
https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-puppet
full path:
deployment/modules/buildbot_asf/files/create-ooo-snapshots-index.sh
https://s.apache.org/buildbot_aoo_script

Do you mean for builds based on trunk *and* release branch?
