The readme file has not been reviewed in a while and still makes mention of the older version of LibreOffice 3.3. (* The following suggestions mention line numbers from the file at [http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/readlicense_oo/docs/readme/readme.xrm])

Problems/Suggestions
====================
====================
Line 160: "The desktop-integration directory also contains a package named libreoffice3.3-freedesktop-menus-3.3.1.noarch.rpm (or similar)..." 

Suggest to change to "The desktop-integration directory also contains a package named libreoffice3.X-freedesktop-menus-3.X.X.noarch.rpm (or similar)..."

Reason: this will remove mention of the older LibreOffice v.3.3 which no longer applies. A generic naming scheme is probably better.
====================

Line 20 "For latest updates to this readme file, see http://www.libreoffice.org/welcome/readme.html". 

Problem: The website file was a shorter version of the installer package readme and was not being updated. Line 20 is erroneous as there were no updated text to read at the website file. NOTE: I (Marc) have since deleted the website "Readme" page -- I can put it back up on the website if there is a reason to put it back there.

Suggestion: Delete this line and not reference to the website (the page no longer exists anyways). There does not seem to be any reason to have the readme (installer package) being updated and then the website version having to be updated or vice versa. Let me know if you think otherwise and I will put the website page back up. The only reason I could see of having the readme on the website is perhaps for archival purposes, but I still do not see this as a good reason. It would mean having to monitor changes in the installer readme's and updating the website version.
====================

Line 27: "If you appreciate their efforts, and would like to ensure that LibreOffice continues to be available far into the future, please consider contributing to the project - see http://www.documentfoundation.org/contribution/ for details. Everyone can make a contribution of some kind."

Problem: this line points to "http://http://www.documentfoundation.org/contribution/. Not sure why it would point to a "The Document Foundation" webpage when we are talking about the LibreOffice project. It should point to a LibreOffice webpage.

Suggest: make this point to "http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/" This page has a more attractive look and has a better breakdown of where a user can apply her/his talents. There is also a link to donate $$$ on this page as well.
====================

Line 234: "Our system for reporting, tracking and solving bugs is currently BugZilla, kindly hosted at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/. We encourage all users to feel entitled and welcome to report bugs that may arise on your particular platform. Energetic reporting of bugs is one of the most important contributions that the user community can make to the ongoing development and improvement of LibreOffice."

Problem: There is no mention of our "Bug Submission Assistant" (BSA) which, for a user, may prove easier to manage than the bugzilla submission page.

Suggest add sentence: "LibreOffice also hosts a very friendly "Bug Submission Assistant (BSA)" which some of you may find more friendly to use than our regular bug submission page. The BSA page may be found at https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/."
====================

Lines 227-230: "The main support page http://www.libreoffice.org/support/ offers various possibilities for help with LibreOffice. Your question may have already been answered - check the Community Forum at http://www.documentfoundation.org/nabble/ or search the archives of the 'users@libreoffice.org' mailing list at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/. Alternatively, you can send in your questions to users@libreoffice.org. If you like to subscribe to the list (to get email responses), send an empty mail to: users+subscribe@libreoffice.org..."

Problem: There is no mention of the Ask LibreOffice website.

Suggestion We should modify to: "... Your question may have already been answered - check the Community Forum at http://www.documentfoundation.org/nabble/, search the answers to questions on the Ask LibreOffice website at http://ask.libreoffice.org/ or search the archives of the 'users@libreoffice.org' mailing list at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/..."

====================

Lines 240 and 244 mention the link to the webpage: http://www.libreoffice.org/contribution/

Suggest In the context of a user "contributing", I would suggest that using the real webpage link name "http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/" is more appropriate as it portrays a more powerful image of a user getting involved in the project. The word "contribution" just seems too passive of a word.
====================

Line 273: "Portions Copyright 1998, 1999 James Clark. Portions Copyright 1996, 1998 Netscape Communications Corporation."

Question: Is this necessary? Why are these here? What do these copyright mentions have to do with the readme?
====================

Suggest: While we are fixing problems with the readme, we should also review and update (if needed) the "System requirements" for Mac, Window, Linux. This may require that some devs take a quick look at the readme file sections to make sure that nothing has changed from the point of view of system requirements.
====================
