Hi all,

Just an update to everyone: I spoke to Jeroen and I'll be taking care of
these when Launchpad comes back from maintenance.

After investigating them, it seems that they simply need to be approved,
so I'll go ahead and do that. If anyone wants to give a hand with, feel
free to chip in. It's just a matter of approving the templates, only
that there are quite a few of them.

Some background on the templates:

I had noticed them on the queue, but I was postponing the approval as I
thought it would require quite a lot of investigation and other
templates and bugs had more priority to me. It turned up that at OO.o
upstream they changed the naming scheme of the templates on 3.2.1, but
as no template had been imported for Maverick, we won't need to do any
renames, just approve the templates.

OO.o templates are not translatable in Launchpad (we disabled them until
we find the way or the resources to put the translations to use), but we
still import them. We do use them to calculate the translations
statistics on release, from the data available at:

Regards,
David.
