Re: Open Office: Mac PPC-OSX

Oops. Hit the send button prematurely. Let me try again with a real
keyboard and not a touchscreen.

This is not true. 3.0 3.1 and 3.1.1 are all released for PPC. I run
3.1.1 RC2 on my G4 with 10.5.8. Highly recommend you run software
update to get the latest operating system.

The problem here is there are not enough PPC users involved in the
project. More testing is needed and the above versions simply have not
had the proper quality assurance "go ahead" to move them to release
status. They're perfectly stable, and there are ongoing bugfixes and
error reporting like with any version. If you want to see releases
more swiftly, I highly recommend becoming involved as a tester. Get
with me offlist and we can work on it together. I am planning to do
some testing tonight.

if you know that the build has not yet passed the QA approval, then I
would recommend not to name it as released. Otherwise this could confuse
people as the most know this term to mark a build/version as stable and
final and ready to use.

I would be happy to put the Mac OS PPC build to the stable tree in the
mirror system after it got the "QA passed" stamp. :-)

Best regards

Oh my bad. I meant to say available. As I said they're not approve due
to lack of
QA ( hint hint help out if you own a PPC)
