In this process I will be sending out many similar notifications, inviting OpenOffice.org list participants to join the relevant lists inthe Apache project. In all cases I am going to request that follow up questions go to the relevant Apache lists. I'm not going to stick around and monitor hundreds of OpenOffice lists waiting for questions to come up. But I will make it clear that follow up questions should come to the Apache lists, where I and other project members can handle them all at once. If you have a strong belief that this should be handled differently, then I would welcome your efforts. For example you could: 1) Come up with a list of what you think the most common questions will be 2) Start a thread here on ooo-dev to ask these questions and get answers 3) Write this up in a "List Migration FAQ" 4) We'll include a link to that FAQ in our announcements 5) (optional) You can then sign up for all the OOo mailing lists to answer questions missed in the FAQ, or for the many cases where the reader didn't bother to even read the FAQs. You can respond to anonymous users demanding that you debate them about the migration, complain if you don't give them your exclusive attention and respond immediately to questions sent at 3am your local time.
