What I am talking about it what is shown on this page
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/  , or any other link on the top
of the navigation bar[s].  It would make life simpler
Really - for who. I just don't see the benefit of having this at a page
level on the disc image.

The User, hopefully. I know there are a lot of "painful" work for a web page developer that is needed to be done for the User to be able to use the site. There are a lot of things I would never have done if it were not for the needs of the users. I started out hand coding all my web pages, for over 5 years, before I found a "good enough" WYSIWYG web page editor. I use to find thing I liked in other sites/pages and saw how they did the work. Then I modified what I saw so it would do what I wanted to do. I am not a good at this as I use to be when I spent 3 to 4 hours every day editing code for web sites I worked on or just coding to figure out how I could do things with HTML coding for 3.x and then 4.x. Now there is 5.x to learn. I use to keep code samples for future work or work on things that I just wanted to figure out how to do specific things. All was hand coded. Sometimes it seems simpler to hand code than edit problems created by issues with the WYSIWYG editor[s]. I started out as a main frame programmer for DEC computers and hand coding thing like General Ledger Accounting systems and a editor and error checker for coding RPG II files. But that was in the 70's and 80's. PCs and Web pages in the 90's and forward.
  if we could do
that, but that may be a future option.  Hopefully the system has that
type of option.
Well, yes the CMS does have that ability but the CMS is not on the disc,
that is just static HTML generated out of the CMS system.

I would be more the open to exploring this for future updates but would
ask that we table the idea of page level language choice for the first
cut - would you be OK with that?

On my page: http://www.lungstrom.com/list/ I use a navigation list with drop-down menus. I found this JS file a while back and have used it for several sites I worked on for others. I rather like the style that is on the LO pages, but still it helps the user find what they want with more options than you could get with a single line of tabs/links.
Could you give me the needed info so I can look at that system and maybe
get an account started?  I do not know where it is located, URL wise.
Yes - I'll follow up with you on this.

<big snip>

At the end of the month 3.4.1 is due out - if on schedule.  Once that is
out, it may be considered "stable" enough for most non-business users.
3.4.2 or 3.4.3 might be ready for business users.
Right but 3.3.x is the stable line for today and let's get that image
setup first - right now I would just like to do what is needed to ensure
we don't stall again.

Best wishes,
