Maybe you should mention that the FreeBSD OpenOffice Porting Team web
site is also the place where to find last (up to date and devel) version
of the package.

Maybe I'm picky but I'm not sure about the use of "here" (there?),
perhaps the last sentence may be reworded in "You will also find the
latest production and developement versions...". I dunno, someone with
better english skills should correct me.
