Yes I would like to hear that as well.

Drew is working hard on converting the LibreOffice-NA.US testing 
portal's 3.3.x English version to the CMS server/system that may be the 
default place for localized DVD projects who want to have their 
project's site on a server that will share its resources with other 
projects.  [Like taking including the dictionary list folder from the 
North American project and including it with the a South American, an 
Australian, or an European, project [if they are developed].

So what is the problem announcing that there will soon be a CMS version 
of the project/DVD to be tested out.

I do say "initial" and after that "initial" version is tested.  Once 
that initial DVD ISO is created and offered to the users to download and 
TEST, we can find out from others what else needs to be done to move it 
towards a more "finalized" version of the NA-DVD.  It will never be 
really "finalized" since every time there is an update of the LO install 
versions, we will need to update the NA-DVD to reflect that new install 
[bug-release installs included].  The same with when the dictionaries 
are updated.  We would want the users to have the access to those new 
dictionaries as soon as they come out and are tested with LO.  The 
French and German dictionaries were updated over the past few months.  
The four major French dictionaries have been updated/improved three 
times in the past year.
