IMO, documentation.dev can be mapped to ooo-dev. That list was used for policy and infrastructure discussions, which would fit well on ooo-dev. I would like to see user-faq.authors mapped to ooo-userdocs, for reasons stated earlier, so I shall endeavour to find several moderators and a core group of list members. The list certainly fulfills the criterion of discussion on the legacy OOo list. If anyone reading this note would like to offer to be a moderator, please speak up! --Jean
