may be better to have some preparatory assistance of current-list

and administrators. There are a ton of mailing lists under the live OO.o
site.
I'd suggest adding a footer to all these mailing list mails that states the
project is now at Apache and the list will be closed down in the future and
moved to an Apache.org address.
There should also be regular mails to the lists saying the same and inviting
list participants to join [email protected] to discuss their
needs.
As lists are created here you can change these headers and mails to warnings
about switch off with subscription instructions for the lists here.

In general, setting a ML footer is fairly easy to do, for an owner under
SYMPA.
I have a small problem w/r/t the @documentation lists, because we at
AOOo have made no provision for documentation at all.

Subject: [DISCUSS] [ooo-users] Speaking of ooo-users
I turn your attention to:
http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive
there seems to be a fair amount of continued activity here.
I could change the "subscribe" link on:
http://support.openoffice.org/
to get them to the new Apache users list, but, what to do about current
subscribers/conversations. Yes, we've discussed this a bit and,
truthfully, since I have NO admin powers on the existing mailing lists I
haven't been keeping up with it actually, but, given recent events, I
think it would be wise to get current users on board SOON with the new
set-up.
Thoughts? I don't know how to put the current list in read-only and I
thought someone (Dennis, Alex) said this could be done along with a
message to this list to that effect. I feel dealing with this particular
list (its total migration) should be a very high priority.
The last messages I find about this concern archiving the existing lists.
My apologies if I'm way behind on some of this conversation.
