Re: [libreoffice-website] working on a CD distribution disc for LO

thanks for the info, but is it possible for me to use it as it, meaning in 
English as most pc users here understand English.
how ever i am working on mt.libreoffice.org to be in the native language 
(has alot of work to restructure the accents).

what i had in mind was either the dvd you guys made as is and just packaged 
by me for distribution, or finding the software files able for offline 
install and make a flash auto-start with links to the exe files (as most are 
windows users) and links to the online download for Linux and mac which i 
think might even fit on a CD.

also note that i am NOT a software programmer, so something's need to be as 
simple as possible (the same goes for me when i am translating)

I have no issues for you to create a distribution disc for your local
language based on the NA-DVD.  I used the original themed German
language DVD as the starting place for the English language North
American DVD.

You can start with
      http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/index.html
which has the older theme, but it is easier to modify than the newest
theme that
      http://libreoffice-na.us/English/index.html
is now using.

If you want to have some of the really old version of the files in Zip
files, you can got to this page and download all the theme files and see
the folder structure.  This page is for 3.3.1 installs from March 11th.
     http://libreoffice-na.us/dvd-archives/dvd-folder-archives.html

These pages will help you get started, if you do not want to create an
online version with the CMS server system.  I would recommend to design
your DVD offline first, then if you want to add an online version for
your language, then the CMS site might be an option for you.
