OK. This is great. Thank you for your effort and I'm looking forward to 
seeing the 3.4 feature page. I'll (probably) translate it once it's 
available. (Unfortunately, I have no admin access to 
www.libreoffice.org, so I can't see it now.)

However, I'm afraid my question was not understood correctly. I was 
talking about "Download" page[1], which currently mentions 3.3.2. As we 
will have two version in parallel, I think we should prepare two 
download pages. And I wonder how each language site can deal with those 
two download pages in SilverStripe.

If I understand correctly, when we mark a page as "Download page" type, 
it automatically generates links to the latest LO binaries with language 
and platform drop boxes to choose. However, how those links will be 
changed when we release the new version?

If these links change to the 3.4 automatically, we may need to update 
each language site accordingly, and may need to prepare new page type 
like "Download old page" and create a new download page for 3.3.2 
accordingly.

We want to see what need to be updated on the website for the upcoming 
release.
