Clayton C used to be the admin for the forums (oooforums) but with Oracle's departure—he was with Oracle and still may be—there was, to put it mildly, a hitch. The OO forums are immensely important. They are mainly for users but not only, though that's clearly their primary user base. They are furthermore pretty much user-initiated, and thus arguably could be administered by capable community members. Was the infrastructure also ported over to Apache? Or will it be? If it will be, and if we want to continue with it, I can ask if Clayton would help with the transition, and even maintenance. It's possible he may be interested in working with some others. What we need here, and I would like to issue a call for this to the logical lists and other public fora ("twitter" comes to mind), is a list (and list of lists) of things that are needed, wanted, and actionable. Right now, lots needs doing but those who can do don't know they can do it, or for that matter where, and using what tools. Not all of those able and inclined read these lists. -louis > > Ricardo >
