Actually that has been posted to the list numerous times

dvd.north-america.libreofficebox.org is the location where we will build
the dosc - that right now throws a 404 error, because I rearrange some
pages in the SS admin screen and it didn't like that - I WILL have that
fixed today, no excuses.

north-america.libreofficebox.org is the distribution site for the disc
image.

Not necessarily IMO - please remember this is only one project the group
is working on and I would say that although it is important it is not
the most important.

Right - and I will do everyting necessary to see to it that by July 7th
there is no reason to use the libreoffice-na.us site for anything beyond
another distribution point for the .iso image - in other words to have
all of the working files moved and 'working' at
dvd.north-america.libreofficebox.org

And to have an .iso image for download available at 
north-america.libreofficebox.org

List later goal actually could, might, even happen first - using
the .iso built from the current layout.
