Re: [libreoffice-website] Re: Web Administration

My thought was more for stable release version rather than nightlies,
knowing how long some of the  packages can take to reach the distro
repositories. LibreOffice in Debian Stable is 3.5, backports has 4.0.3 but
we're actually on 4.1 which has only just hit unstable.

Maybe the situation isn't quite as bad as I thought with distro repos, but
it'd still be nice to have quicker repository access to newer versions as
they're released.
