What i am really asking is, how easy would it be to set up a temporary
forwarder for emails to a moderator from us...@openoffice.org and
disc...@openoffice.org. If you own the A record and the mail server
it is easy.
My main concern stems from the fact that together they still generate
as much if not more mail/queries than this list.
Have yous seen the user list traffic lately? Seems to be mainly
out-of-the-office notifications and users confused about how to
unsubscribe. That leads to a death spiral for a list, as more of this
noise drives more people to unsubsbcribe.
In any case, we need to help users resusbcribe to the new list if they
want to continue participation. The old list is not coming down
immediately, like this week or anything. So we have time for an
orderly migration.
What would you suggest as an orderly migration path? From what I am
reading on this list, the old lists are simply going to die, following
messages (already sent?) that users need to re-subscribe to the @apache
lists. (I forebear commenting on that strategy, it is the official one
and unlikely to change.)
Question: Should someone ask Oracle for the subscriber list? If we had
that list, does Apache policy allow us to subscribe those subscribers to
the new Apache lists?
Would impact users' mailing filters but some things can't be helped.
Hope you are having a great week!

PS: As an alternative, that is if Apache policy does not allow the mass
re-subscription approach, we could view this as an opportunity for some
of those interested in ODF to broadcast the move to Apache. Something
suitable on the homepages or similar locations of Oracle, IBM, MS and
other entities might be a nice touch. A little PR for Apache and getting
people to notice the new locations/mailing lists, etc. Something for
everyone. (Above my paygrade but the large vendors talk to each other
all the time so I leave that conversation up to them.)
