Re: [libreoffice-marketing] 3.4.2 - "will target enterprise deployments" - is limiting the market?

Hi :)
I thought the 3.3.x was going to be the stable branch for corporate users and 
the 3.4.x was only going to be for early-adopters as it is becoming recognised 
as development/testing branch.  


Obviously we want to encourage people to use a 
development/testing/cooking/early-adopters branch but not in scenarios where 
they need something that is guaranteed to be stable for at least a year.  


The comment on the web-page made it very unclear.  Is there going to be a well 
recognised development branch? or are we going to have to guess which releases 
are less stable than others?
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-marketing] 3.4.2 - "will target enterprise deployments" - 
is limiting the market?


The LibreOffice download page has the following statement:
<quote>
Safely for production need by most users - LibreOffice 3.4.2, available at the 
end of July, will target enterprise deployments.
<unquote>

Since I am going out to promote LibreOffice locally, should I promote 
3.3.3/3.3.4 for businesses/schools/etc., or should I wait for 3.4.2 to come out 
for these businesses and schools?

Also the "will target enterprise deployments" part of the statement is rather 
"limiting" to me.  Some people could think that 3.4.2 is not appropriate for the 
personal use or small business use.

To be honest, I have not tried 3.4.1 on my desktop, yet.  I have 3.3.3 on my 
Ubuntu desktop, but yesterday I installed it on my Vista laptop.  I did not try 
it out, much, after I installed it though.

So the question really is, once 3.4.2 comes out, should I/we start promoting it 
to businesses or continue promoting the 3.3.x line?
