I agree. I spend at least halp of my time writing for american clients
in American English. My main concern is not the missing version but the
fact that people in the UK who try to download OpenOffice are presented
with a page that shows that the OOo 3.2.1 UK version is missing rather
than offering either 3.2.0 UK or 3.2.1 US
Rob, I have a US ip address so on my download page the 3.2.1 green
download button states:
====
Download OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
Click to start downloading the most recent version for Linux (US English)
(Java Runtime Environment (JRE) included for all OS versions except
Linux 32/64-bit Debian and Mac OS)
Get more platforms and languages, non-JRE versions, language packs |
Release Notes | MD5 checksums | Order CD-ROM or Peer-to-peer downloads

Of course when I access with a Windows system (or spoof my UI to make
the system think it's Windows), the button offers up the Windows version:
====
Download OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
Click to start downloading the most recent version for Windows (US English)
(Java Runtime Environment (JRE) included for all OS versions except
Linux 32/64-bit Debian and Mac OS)

What I'm trying to find out is if your green download button has the (US
English) or does it actually show (UK English)?
I've never been a fan of "smart" downloaders; those that browser sniff&
IP sniff to try to determine which page to offer up. But, the most
recent OOo downloader is (IMO) better than the old bouncer system, but
that's another thread :-)
