OpenOffice.org 2.0 Beta 2, New Issues and OOoCon 2005

OpenOffice.org 2.0 Beta 2 has been released and there are only a few issues with the target milestone "2.0" left. Now we have to follow the incoming issues closely. Let's cross fingers that users tell us that we are not far away from the first release candidate. Then it would be realistic to release OpenOffice.org 2.0 at OOoCon 2005.

Pavel's New Issues feed is very useful for members of the QA project. It's a good entry point for those working on the review of incoming issues. I'm sure we'll find a place to host it somewhere in the .services.openoffice.org domain.
I would prefer a feed over a mailing list dedicated to notifications for new issues. We should remove the prefix "New - " from issue notification emails to allow the mail client the threading by subject of the initial message with follow-ups.

If there weren't this feeling that all people clicking on issue links are responsible for the degradation in performance we have seen.

Of course we are talking about seconds and not milliseconds.

But this is probably unrelated and was just a forerunner of Beta 2 or the publishing of the programme for OOoCon 2005.
Steven Shelton continued the theme of our splash screen and prepared some banners. This is my favorite. Feel free to use the banner at your site and let people know about OpenOffice.org Conference 2005.

Kudos to Steven.
