Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Stable? Seriously?? Fw: [tdf-announce] The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 3.6.2

Hi :)
There is already a wiki-page!  The graphic clearly backs up what i have been saying.  Presumably 
the graphic is wrong but wont get replaced and the new page will just contradict the graphic.  The 
public announcement contradicts the graphic.  So, which is true?

IF the .0, .1 and .2 release are the most stable releases then we should 
1.  delete the graphic and
2.  stop having 2 branches because any work done on the older branch is clearly a complete waste of 
time.

HOWEVER! 

IF, as with Debian, the .0, .1 and .2 are for early adopters, experts and people who don't really 
mind running into occasional problems and perhaps even happy to report and maybe even fix things 
then i think we should
1.  Put the older branch on the main downloads page
2.  In public announcements show-off the fact that new features have been added (and improved 
compatibility)  but just say nothing about stability because stability is irrelevant for those 
early releases.  

What is the problem?  Why can't we be honest?  Why even mention anything about stability in public 
announcements!?!!  
Regards from
Tom :)
