There is a group that is in process of creating a new OOo site. In the
long run it will likely have broad scope. Do you have any interest in
a dialog with them?

I'm in the process of setting up another OOoAuthors forum at the URL
below. Its URL will be linked to the OOoAuthors Web site when I get
around to it--in case you forget this link: OOoAuthors forum
<http://technicaleditor.freeforums.org/> AFAIK, it is hosted on a
free site, yet devoid of advertising. We'll see...
Post there if you desire to have **any** of your OOoAuthors topics or
issues readily available there without resorting back to (possibly
deleted) email posts, etc. Any posts there will not have any maximum
time limits imposed--at least for now. I'll create a forum there for
any off-topic issues (or move them myself), so that such posts don't
clutter the primary fora. For now, use the test forum at the bottom
for anything unrelated to those categories and forums already created.
Register via the usual phpBB sign-up procedure: register, respond to
email, post, etc. Reading posts does not require any prior
registration, but posting does. Upload a personal avatar, if you're
so inclined.
The OOoAuthors forum is piggy-backed onto my newly created board, so
I'll administer it. However, other OOoAuthors members may volunteer
to moderate the forums, etc. I know from past experience that it will
probably have very low activity...
Let me know if there are any problems.
It wouldn't hurt. The forum I set up now (and the former site--which was
culled for inactivity last year) was for posting various OOoAuthors
items for easy referral and, being threaded, for topic threads that
could be handled in situ without having to delve back and forth through
scattered and missing email messages.
In my case, I deleted many messages that held little interest at the
time. However, once deleted, they're not as easy to resurrect in case my
interest/mood swung later. Also, other parts on the new forum will serve
as a blog of sorts for some of my incomplete projects, etc. Perhaps,
somebody might chime in with something of interest...
In any event, it appears as if OOoAuthors activity now is at another
ebb--with many begging off subprojects, etc. Perhaps, this may change
with time.
