Patrick I have seen that in the main page the current patch number is not typed in "NeoOffice 2.2.5 parche agrega soporte para los servicios del Mac OS X y para el Snow Leopard". Did you forget write it? If so, can you specify the patch number?
I checked French, too. Today is Thanskgiving so Patrick may have decided to take a break, however (so he may not be able to fix it today).
I made that change after we found that Patch 3's new Mac OS X Services menus did not work on Leopard and I had to release Patch 4 with a fix. Since the new feature was released in two separate patches, I changed the text to not mention a specific patch number.
BTW, tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S. (today will be filled with last minute food buying and other preparations). Strangely, Thanksgiving in the U.S. is set to the fourth Thursday in November. Having a holiday on a Thursday is a bit strange IMHO because many people have to work on Friday.

Well, I understand what you say, but would not be a bad idea mention the two patches number in the page. What do you say? Do you think you can include the two patches number in the page?

Is this change really important? The main idea that the website is trying to say is that there are two new features in NeoOffice. The "patch" word is there only to provide a link to the download page for those two new features.
The problem is that while it's OK to remove the patch number in English, it breaks the translation.
"NeoOffice 2.2.5 Patch 4", in French, is just a release number, so "NeoOffice Patch" makes little sense.
OK. I understand. To avoid that problem, I have changed the text from "NeoOffice 2.2.5 patch adds" to "NeoOffice adds..." so that there are no modifiers to the NeoOffice noun. In other words, "NeoOffice" implies "the latest release of NeoOffice". That is probably not good writing style for an article, but is more of a news headline style so hopefully my change will be a reasonably understandable compromise. Also, this change will allow us to leave these new features on the website even if we release Patch 5 in the near future.
Well, my point was the same samwise's because when I suggested you put the two patches number I was refering that only "NeoOffice parche agrega soporte para los servicios del Mac OS X y para el Snow Leopard " was breaking the translation and the sentence was loosing some sense, but now your idea was better because so the translation isn't broken and is most understandable
With each new NeoOffice release, the number of NeoOffice downloads and the number of users posting to our support and testing forums keeps increasing. The bandwidth, machines, and webhosting fees that are needed to support our free downloads and forums cost real money. Not only do we spend several thousand dollars each year to keep all of the NeoOffice infrastructure running, but the two creators of NeoOffice work more than 2500 hours of their time each year writing the NeoOffice code.

While we would like to accept other methods of payment for small donations, we have found that for small donations other payment providers can charge large processing fees (sometimes up to 50%) for each donation. Also, for small donations sent directly to us, we have found that a significant portion of each donation can get used up by a bank fees and administrative tasks.

Con cada nueva versión de NeoOffice, el numero de descargas de NeoOffice y el número de usuarios posteando comentarios en nuestro foro de soporte (support forum) y en nuestro foro de prueba (testing forum) se mantiene en incremento. El ancho de banda, las computadoras y las tasas del alojamiento web que son necesarias para apoyar nuestras descargas gratuitas y nuestros foros cuestan dinero de verdad. No solo gastamos varios de miles de dólares para mantener toda la infraestructura de NeoOffice funcionando, pero los dos creadores de NeoOffice trabajan más de 2500 horas de su tiempo cada año escribiendo el código de NeOffice.

FYI. I have posted your translations on the website.
One thing that I did not change was that our contact e-mail still has the "at" and "dot" words. We do this because spam bots will harvest e-mail addresses and start sending lots of spam to our e-mail.
Should I replace "at" and "dot" with "por" and "punto"?
