I think most people would be willing to be interviewed. Start by looking at the ML archives and pick some "victims". Start some private conversations... I'm willing to answer but might take time to respond to questions. Maybe the interviewers should ask questions in this thread and the answers will arrive, or not? :-) Best Regards, Dave > > -Rob > >> >> Nancy >> >> Nancy Web Design >> Free 24 hour pass to lynda.com. >> Video courses on SEO, CMS, >> Design and Software Courses >> >> >> >> >> ________________________________ >> From: Rob Weir <robw...@apache.org> >> To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org >> Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 2:19 PM >> Subject: Re: Blog idea: interviews with AOO developers >> >> On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 5:00 PM, Donald Harbison <dpharbi...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >>> On Wednesday, February 15, 2012, Rob Weir <robw...@apache.org> wrote: >>>> On Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 2:29 PM, Rob Weir <robw...@apache.org> wrote: >>>>> Something like this: >>>>> >>>>> 1.
