Oh, didn't want to imply that it was - rather than whenever you need a URL that still should point to something useful in two or more years. When the link is put into some "real world" stuff that you cannot change afterwards (like a released version of LibreOffice - you cannot change LO that was already installed by the user, and you cannot change printed copies of flyers or books....) > At the end of the day, typed or scanned, the URL either landed somewhere > usable or not.

I don't know where you got the idea that I'd think it matters more for QR-Codes, but I'm glad that you share my actual point :-) > So I think we actually agree :), that I and others, should take extra > caution when choosing URL's, of any type, for printed materials. Yes :-) > Anyway - I do like the specific glyph Simon produced and the general > idea, for sure, definitely thinking we ought to incorporate such in a > variety of artifacts. Yes, I'd love to see a QR-Code on every LO booth - some might say "Welcome dear visitor, thanks for taking time to scan this code, what about talking to our staff - when you say "<codeword>" you'll get a cookie" :-D > ps - Seems like the hub.libreoffice.org/donate is a good idea - but > best I suppose to discuss that in a different thread? Yes, please :-) you can then use it like hub.libreoffice.org/donate?event=whatever or similar to make use of it for specific campaigns/events. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
