In my opinion:
* 320 MB for an installer is too much. If you don't have a fast internet
access or if you have a mobile provider that gives you time/data limit,
probably you'd have to find another way to get LibreOffice.
I agree :-) So - we have some plans to shrink that size that should get
us to 250Mb or less.
* An unique installer that include all the languages is a really good
idea if we are able to find a way to reduce its size to saner value.
Hopefully the sanity of the size grows with time, and (generally)
increasing internet bandwidth.
Up to then, i find more viable the approach of providing separate
installer for each language.
So - that is also something that can be done by individuals; however
there are ferocious maintainance, and mirroring costs to pay for
multiplying ~170Mb by 50 languages ;-) particularly when the vast
majority of that is in fact 100% shared. And we want to avoid those
problems.
Anyhow - thanks for your input :-) rest assured we are working on it,
and thanks for your support ! :-)
ATB,
Michael.
