A concrete proposal of a new mailing list is nothing. It's an invitation to talk, and talk is *very cheap*. Talking is not doing. Talking is not contributing. As far as I can see no one of the "several volunteers demanding a Base mailing list" are doing anything of the above. You have a patch? you have code? you have bug reports? Do you have anything of the above? If you have anything of the above, you will realize something: it's already happening and being documented through a mailing list :-) Thanks, Charles. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
