[libreoffice-projects] Users support via Twitter

[Charles-H. Schulz]

Hello everyone,

The Document Foundation offers several types of community support 
channels for LibreOffice. One of the main ones is the users support 
mailing lists, but there are of course others, such as the Ask 
LibreOffice website and other tools. One experimental tool we have been 
using since the beginning of the year is a Twitter account dedicated to 
LibreOffice support, @libreofficehelp . It answered to quite a lot of 
help requests, and is well followed. However, only one volunteer (Jay 
Philipps) is behind this account and he cannot man the account 
constantly.


This is why we'd like to invite volunteers here who may be interested in 
using this account to provide users support. Obviously, it's different 
from being on a mailing list, but it's a very interesting and rewarding 
experience as well. If you're interested, shout here on the mailing 
list(s) or send me a private message.


Thank you,

Charles.
