Ah - generally speaking then, well isn't it already the case that the
LibreOfficeBox image is available as hosted download, bitTorrent and I
believe now you can use the Box website as a DEB repository, least I
think that is available now.

IMO the overall project would be remiss not to use the strong work in
the current LibreOfficeBox image as the basis for a going forward
official image, in many languages, at this point - it is out there as
the official release now if nothing else.

The LibreOffieBox team is or has setup the SilverStripe instance
utilized to develop the current German language image in such a way to
work on the additional languages. I would assume then that when those
translations (enhancements) do happen, I'm sure it will be sooner rather
then later, that all the same delivery routes currently employed will be
use for these new formal releases.

Having instructions, which I think is rally all you need as a minimum,
or some additional auto run support for a USB image makes great sense,
for TDF official images and others.

Best wishes,

Drew
