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

Well we really need to have an "easier" way for the users find the more 
"conservative" version of 3.6.5 when 3.7.0 comes out.  I do not think 
anyone would call 3.7.0 the version a new user should try first over 
3.6.5.  SO we need a better and easier way for them to get to that 
install instead of the default 3.7.0 downloads.

Since the question keeps coming up, and we should promote both lines of 
our 2 line development cycle, we need an easy way to display/access both 
lines at the same time like shown in

http://www.libreoffice.org/download-more/

If we do not show BOTH lines in the "default" download page, how can we 
say we are promoting both of our development cycle lines? That is the 
key point really.  If we do not promote both lines, then why bother with 
updating the older line or have it available when 3.7.0 comes out????
