Hi :) I really like these announcements now. It is VERY clear about the difference between the branches and completely avoids the confusion that plagued us early on and the endless arguments/discussions on the Users List.
It's been difficult to think of a suitable name for the "advanced branch" because the name for the other branch, "stable branch", kinda suggests other names that were entirely unsuitable for it. Calling it "Advanced branch" is inspired and quite brilliant imo. Hindsight makes it seem obvious but we were really stuck for ages. Congrats all! Note that if you would like to or are able to spare even 1hour/week (or even less) and would like to help make LibreOffice smoother faster then a good way of getting involved is to help out in the QA team for a while. You can do a lot of useful work in bug-triage even if you have no aptitude nor skills in coding. If you do have coding skills then you are probably better going straight into the devs team but it can be fun to start off in triaging to mix with non-coders and get more of an overview of current issues. It might be easier for you to spot which bug-reports are likely to be "Easy Hacks" than it is for people such as me. I get the impression the QA Team is hectic, eclectic and fun.
