I've subscribed to us...@libreoffice.org as well. I think I've gotten
15-20 messages from there within the last 12 hours. So apparently much
of the activity has moved there.
That's the impression I have. I stayed subscribed for a few days until I
got sick of the top/bottom post bickering that seemed to swamp the list,
said my bit about that and left.
Perhaps because the LO lists are missing something as simple as:
<http://www.openoffice.org/ml_guidelines.html>
<quote>
...
But it has - in spite of one offender saying there were none, every mail
on the list has appended a url of such guidelines, which seemed imo
reasonably clear. I prefer bottom, but follow general practice: what
really annoyed me was the deliberate and pointed top-posting onto an
existing 'bottom-posted' thread by that same offender. Now /that/ makes
for severe confusion.
That said; Oracle has granted the OOo software to the Apache Software
Foundation so it appears that much, if not all of OOo is currently up in
the wind right now. There are hundreds of new posts regarding this on
the ASF Incubator list as well as others. A post on the OOo discuss list
generated one response:
<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general/57072>
[Oracle donates OpenOffice.org to the Apache Foundation]
That's puzzling. I'd have thought discuss@OOo would be abuzz with
comment; as a mere user, I'm wondering what the future holds. Apache
couldn't be worse than Oracle, could they??? :-)
