[libreoffice-users] Re: helping Users and LibreOffice - proposal

Hi Cour
(none of the following criticisms are directed at you, who are one of the
few (only?) members of the SC who sees this project as a productivity tool
for the users)

I don't know if you are aware that installing LibO 3.4.0 under Windows
silently uninstalls 3.3 without asking (even if the installer is run in
customized mode). Therefore it is not possible to have both versions
installed under Windows. I know this is possible under Linux but this
project doesn't care a f*ck about Windows users (even though they are the
majority of users, but hey, who cares?) so one can only recommend one
version OR the other.

Given the degree of regression and bugs added (I totally agree with Tom that
3.4.0 "sounds more like a beta-release") and that the developers are not too
worried about regressions, in my opinion if someone is using 3.3.2 for work
(and believe me: even if the LO site has a disclaimer about 3.4 being
experimental, all other download sites/mirrors don't, so expect a LOT of
angry users in the near future) I will not recommend 3.4 for anything other
than playing around.

In my opinion, releasing 3.4.0 as Stable was a major error and a shot on the
foot for this project.

But the all-mighty Release Schedule as to be met, no matter what comes out
of it...

Regards,
Pedro
