Please Rob: I have worked for more than 6 years in the german OOo community and I work professionally continue for OpenOffice - only it's hard for me to understand how the ASF works and here to find my place. Please understand that my English is not the best, and it is sometimes difficult for me to express myself accurately. Thank you.
