(This just required a new subject header)

Hi;

As you know the bugzilla database is working already (very
well to be honest) but the UI interface changes were not
brought in due to the extremely outdated version (3.2.10)
the old site was running.

Apparently it is not a difficult task and it would make
our users feel more comfortable to get most of the previous
look and feel.

Mark Thomas, from infrastructure@ has analysed the files
provided by Oracle here:
http://openoffice.org/downloads/www/mw/ooo_bz_template.tar.bz2
and has offered the pointers for anyone wanting to take
the job (I am attaching his post).

If someone would like this task please let the list know
so that we don't have a lot of people creating JIRA issues.
After notifying the list do create a JIRA issue:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA

cheers,

Pedro.
