I suggest on the website https://forum.openoffice.org/ the following text to

(translation: "DE there is so far no German speaking sub-forum, we recommend the use
of the external German Forum http://de.openoffice.info";)
I must clarify what I wrote. I meant it's fine to link to third-party
resources from the DE website, I didn't have the forum homepage in mind;
and I now see that indeed this is done at
http://www.openoffice.org/de/foren.html reachable from the DE homepage
after clicking on the support option.
So, without adding any new external links, I'd recommend we do the
following instead: edit https://forum.openoffice.org/ so that it has the
additional record (to be translated to German):
DE - Third party forums in German
and it links to
http://www.openoffice.org/de/foren.html
where you can give more explanations if needed, or rearrange the listing
or whatever.
*If there was no opposition in the next 3 days, I will carry out the proposed
changes.*
You can't change https://forum.openoffice.org/ since that homepage (a
plain HTML/PHP file) is maintained directly on the forum servers.
Anyway, since it's just a text+link performing the change is not so bad
once we have agreement.
On http://de.openoffice.info many years we have clearly identified that there
is an independent forum:
The official forum is "independent" too, in the sense that it offers
support for OpenOffice and derivatives (it's in the forum header, just
open https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ ) without making
preferences: users are equal.
Two things that are not covered here are:
- as I wrote yesterday, we'll need to discuss trademarks usage on
openoffice.info (this is also a reason why I'm opposing that we add a
direct link from the Forum homepage to that specific third-party
service); this can be addressed later and on the appropriate channels.
- a possible migration so that the two forums are hosted on the same
platform: if on one side you don't need help with PHPBB administration,
on the other side the official forum may use some system administration
help! So there are still some gains in joining efforts.

Andrea.
