What manner of security are are referring to? If password-protected 
documents, OOo is superior to Microsoft in that area, but due to the 
proprietary nature of Microsoft's products OOo cannot legally implement 
a means of opening protected MS-Office files (there are numerous 
stand-alone utilities for this, however). If something else, 
what exactly?

If he volunteers, this can be done. Just verified with Martin

who else we should set up as owner.

Opinions?

Yes, runs just fine.

The duties of the owner can't be too overwhelming, if we've gotten away 
without one for so long! If Paul's willing, he sounds like a good choice 
to me. Is the discuss list in the same state?

So, Paul...looks as if  you may need to volunteer, if for no other reason
then to avoid being drafted.

[discuss] Spelling checker not working

[nthnhrvy]

I don't know why, but the spelling checker does not work at all in the latest 
version of OpenOffice (3.1.1).   I sure hope someone can fix it before the next 
release.

Even if I support nominating Paul as list-owner, I think that this will 
not solve the problem of unsubscribing people.


If I've been told correctly, the only people having the possibility to 
do that are the project owner: lead and co-lead of the project.

Spell check works in OO.o 3.1.1. Yours might not be set up properly. 
Have a look at this:

If you can't solve the problem, send further explicit details about what

The users mailing list is a better place to ask for help.

Thanks for the support..

I have in fact, just very recently, been given the status of project owner
(there can be many 'owners') for the applicable project in order to
add/remove subscribers from both the discuss and users list.

Obviously this (moderator forced unsub) will only be done under extreme
circumstances since I'm sure everyone will agree that getting users to
understand what they have done and to unsub themselves is still the
preference.

I will continue to monitor both lists, but no action will be taken until
plenty of discussion has been had.

Let me know if there are any queries.

So you have the necessary rights :-)

I'm sure that you will use them with responsibility and foresight.

It's very good that these important lists are monitored regularly.

Thanks for your dedication!

I've been subscribed to the lists for over 5 years and monitoring for 4
years. These days I monitor and lurk (pretty much each day) but will jump in
when required.

Fantastic! Yes, this kind of action needs to be "court of last resort" 
-- it's just that sometimes people just can't or won't do what's needed. 
Does this mean you'll be seeing the users-owner and discuss-owner messages?

No I don't see those messages. There is still a 'listed' owner that is not

I think you need to be made the listed owner; nobody answers those 
messages, and Frank verified with Martin that the one who is currently 
the listed owner is no longer active. Martin, can you set this up? Among 
other things, every single admin message from ezmlm says that 
[listname]-ow...@openoffice.org should be used when people have trouble 
with the autoprocessing.

One issue (at least on 'users') is that some subscribed users claim 
never to have subscribed. A seeming impossibility, and presumably 
they're either /very/ forgetful, or they've shared their email address 
with someone.


There is another possibility to deal with the situation. I suggested on 
'users' a while ago (meeting with an unexpected lack of enthusiasm) that 
an auto-responder might be constructed (maybe even independently of the 
actual lists) that (a) would pick out messages from unsubscribed users 
and respond with a likely simple help message plus further info on using 
the list, and (b) could pick out any obvious 'please unsubscribe me' 
messages and send the necessary list unsub email (obviously the user 
would still need to confirm this though).


Quite a bit of up-front effort to get going in a responsible way, but 
might be beneficial in the longer term. Or am I missing something?





I will continue to monitor both lists, but no action will be taken until
plenty of discussion has been had.

Let me know if there are any queries.
