First things first. Please fix your reply-to so that it goes to the list and not you personally.
Secondly, since you brought it up, I am cross posting to leads and NL. Those on leads and NL who wish to participate, please post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, 2005-02-20 at 09:21 -0800, Jonathon Blake wrote: > GRS wrote: > > > I am not going to chase it or the owner. > > Have you really not noticed that the only difference in URLs between > projects, for the same content, differ only in the ISO language Code? > > That doesn't require any chasing down of documentation, or owner. > If the leaders of any NLC are not interested sobeit. I have tried and had a poor response. If the groups themselves are not interested why should you expect me or anyone else to expend the time and energy to do something the NL leads are unwilling to do? > >Spiders and other such tools will not help much if nothing is there. > > a) There is a 404 error is the page does not exist. > b) Spiders can read the auto-generated page for 404 errors. > [Linbot could read them, and that was written back in 1998, or so.] I put the list up to facilitate non English speakers to get to documentation in their own language. This really duplicates what is on www.openoffice.org.

THat is one way you could contribute and, if you are so inclined, you could also provide the spider/bot maybe even one that records the broken links so that they can be handled. Remember, like you I am a volunteer and I need to make a living so I haven't the time nor inclination to pursue this. It is not important to the NLC leaders so it is not important for me.
