New editions of documentations and re-issued versions available on-line can provide an ODF Authors feedback location, when that is the authorship of the materials.
However, there remain printed editions and downloaded PDFs and ODTs that have old feedback information. An interesting challenge is how to preserve or redirect such feedback requests, or whether to do it at all. It would be better, by the way, to have folks come to a web page for feedback information, notification of errata and later revisions, etc., than use e-mail to what happens to be a mailing list.

There are two solutions: - the auth...@documentation.ooo will be forwarded to this list (user friendly option) - no forwarding and an info about the address for feedback (this list) on the frontpage of ODFAuthors.org and on the documentation-site of the AOOo-Wiki.
