Hi Nuno,

I think I understand, we need a way to say "3.4.0 is expected to have
problems" without scaring the user away.
Yes, that's it.
I'm afraid some ways of warning about it will just scare the early
adopters, moving them to 3.3.2, without even a bug report about the bug.
Maybe one should instead focus on saying "if you can't use LibO with
this bug, please try 3.3.2 instead, otherwise you're welcome to continue
using 3.4.0 and report any bugs you find".
For part of the public, it will be no problem too to have both versions
working parallel.
See http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
"3.4.0 should be usable, except for bugs like the one you just
found. This release was done exactly to catch hidden bugs."
It is hard to predict precisely what kind of bugs to expect or to catch.
It is important that people understand the rationale behind the release
policy
http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2011/05/13/announcing-a-new-beta-release/
and choose the version according to their needs/like.
Another way of making it less scary could be a list of known issues, so
one can say, by reading the list, if some issue will affect his/her
workflow. Is there such list? (more or less up to date?)
There is a list in the release notes
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/#LO340
but that is not updated.
Is anyone else aware of such a list, apart from a query in BugZilla?
Thanks,
