Hi Jan, all!

Just a short question ...

Mmh, the adopt-o-meter shows it nicely (which is good), but the decision
itself has to be done by the user (how to select the desired LibO
version, where do I find it, ...).

Can this be somehow aligned with the download selector on the website?
Something like:
      * "Official Release, for home and office use" --> default
      * "Highly stable, for corporate use"
      * "Newest Features, for early adopters"

So, the users may decide - but don't need to. And the decision to go for
(e.g.) stability is directly tied to a certain version - no additional
lookups.

Well, now I should shut up again. Officially, I'm not even here ;-)))

Cheers,
Christoph
