Well, having a community doesn't mean that simple decisions must take forever. The OpenDocument Fellowship has 100 official members and several times more un-official ones, and we managed a CafePress store over-night. Someone just made the store, posted to the list and said "what do you think?", some people said "yay", others suggested improvements, and off we went. Look at it this way: Suppose you make a store and it's not perfect. An imperfect store is better than no store at all. You can try to improve it later, but get something workable today. Different members may disagree on what products you should have, and it may be difficult or impossible to satisfy everyone. But only a trouble maker would argue that you should do *nothing* unless you do it *his* way. > Nevertheless, I can't see any valid reason why OOo-merchandise shouldn't > exist. Would you consider setting up a CafePress store right now? It's not hard to do. You can find graphics here: http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/ Start by putting the OOo logo on every product you like. Add a mousepad with something from here: http://www.kfacts.com/oooart/thumbnails.php?album=4 And there you go. Call the store "OpenOffice.org" and add a link to it from the wiki. The store will be done 2 hours. Cheers, Daniel. -- http://opendocumentfellowship.org "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man tries to adapt the world to himself.
