Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Latest newsletter from SourceForge re: AOO

Is it true that AOO is not going to have the same numbering system for 
its version, like LO is using?  I have seen "advertisements" for AOO in 
articles that talk about AOO v4.  If they skip all of the 3's and go to 
the version name "4", then it may look like LO is behind them, when it 
was LO who moved far ahead of them in the past year.

Could there be a system setup where you collect email addresses to send 
out a notice for the next release of LO, or maybe add some simple 
function where if there is access to the Internet, it would look online 
for what version is available and tell the user that there is a new 
version out for them to try?  It could be performed once a week, 
bi-weekly, or monthly.  You would have to have both a function as part 
of LO and a data file online that shows which version are currently in 
final release.

For those of you that use the latest version of Linux, I hope your 
repositories will reflect the newest LO version within a month of the 
release.  I still use Ubuntu 10.04 on most of my systems, so its 
repository still used the old OOo 3.x as its default office package.  I 
do have a Ubuntu 12.04/MATE install on a laptop, but I do not use it often.
