Hi8 Dennis Just to be clear: Do you need to fill a form when you decide to help a friend or someone unknown? Most of people don't think they need. So, some of us will submit their requests for contributors. Some will not. But they will continue spread the " cause" and supporting enthusiastically AOO. They will need support and acceptance. This is one of the the subjective things Apache Foundation will need to deal when working with a very popular software like AOO: The boundaries exceed the technical environment. There's a whole and huge new world out there. > - Dennis > > Regards -- Paulo de Souza Lima http://almalivre.wordpress.com Curitiba - PR Linux User #432358 Ubuntu User #28729
