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

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?

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. Perhaps it is time to consider removing this
convenience.

THere is Issue Tracker. Use website.

Why not? 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. I will gladly let you do the leg work.
