Here is the post I sent to users@ooo. It appears to have caused "offense" to a LO supporter who wanted to blow off steam and go out in a blaze of glory. I will grieve his loss. But I do also get the sense that there are participants on the list who are unaware of our overall migration efforts, perhaps starving for information. This might be a good topic for a project blog post. ===== Please note that, as part of the overall migration to Apache, this list will be closed. Based on feedback received, including from participants on this list, we've decided to create a users list at the Apache OpenOffice.org project to serve as a continuation of us...@openoffice.org. You are invited to subscribe to the new list by sending an email to: ooo-users-subscr...@incubator.apache.org That Apache list is live now. Although us...@openoffice.org is not going to disappear immediately, it will eventually be shut down. So you might want to finish the threads you are engaged in here, but try to start new ones at ooo-us...@incubator.apache.org. We're talking weeks, not months, before the migration completes. ===== For the discuss@ooo list, I think we should also mention the ooo-dev list and put a link to our mailing list page, since that has good info on archives, etc. I've supplemented that page today with a link to the MarkMail archive of the legacy OOo databases. -Rob > Please go ahead.
