Re: [VOTE][RESULT] Release Apache OpenOffice 4.1.4-RC5 as GA

Hi Dave, all I proposed the following new logic on the comdev mailing list. Who is permitted to vote is, to some extent, a community-specific thing. However, the basic rule is that only PMC members have binding votes, and all other votes are advisory. Much better with exactly the same meani

Re: [VOTE][RESULT] Release Apache OpenOffice 4.1.4-RC5 as GA

Hi Andrea, all P.S. I can volunteer to kick off a similar list of the available AOO languages (and links to the extensions) if the devs agree that it makes sense to link to such a page. At least a collection of links to Dictionaries that are not marked as such would be useful, thanks! May
