Hi,
OOo is in the news a lot around the world --that's good. We track our
media presence via the announce newsletter [0] and the blogspot
newsletter [1]. Plus, many of the NLC projects maintain their own
archives.
It would be nice to have a single destination that would be easy to
maintain and that we could all reference. We can use the blogspot,
the wiki (I created, but have not populated, http://
wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/News_Archives). What would be best
is if the news archives could also be broken into channels, eg,
Migration, How-Tos, Interviews, articles, etc. I tend to think that
for this categorization, the wiki would be best.
The point is to be able to answer the obvious questions about OOo and
to be able to point to actual news sources. We have tried versions
of this before we had the wiki at our disposal--didn't work, too much
of a hassle and was confusing, too. But even having links to locally
maintained sites would be great. Just something that quickly gives
visitors what they need to form (positive) judgements.
We can also use these for followups--case studies, etc.--and to add
to the ever-growing "Solutions" [2], "Major Deployments" [3],
"Derived Works" [4]; and, the Migrations Docs pag [5].
What I would like to see ultimately is a page that gives consumers
and businesses fast access to news, information, documentation (how
to use the thing), downloads, extensions, ancillary works (templates,
for instance), and support options. We have much of that already,
it's just scattered. Let's start pulling it together :-)
Ciao
louis
