Ffi.Mailing list transition needs to be managed. The current openoffice.org handles both email forwarding and mailing lists.
- Forwarder
Will we need to shutdown forwarders or can we expand Apache Infrastructure to allow existing ones to be phased out?
Are existing email addresses embedded in the user forums, wikis, bugzilla and other content?- The bugzilla is loaded with *@ openoffice.org e-mail addresses and some of the default addresses built in automatically are also *@ openoffice.org.
- The Forums seem to use a hidden e-mail and all of the users are identified in Forum postings to a profile. The user profile has an e-mail option so that an user can be reached by e-mail, but the e-mail address is not disclosed. I'm sure many of these are *@ openoffice.org, although I see that my user as
- Mailing Lists
There are many user lists will require different treatment from the development and administrative ones.
Mailing lists seem to allow attachments, but only of openoffice type documents (or text)?
The following are the top 100 lists, in order of posts from Feb 2010 to the present. This covers period covered by the 3.2.1 and 3.3 releases, as well as the 3.4 beta.
General principles:
- The core project list is ooo-dev. All proposals and votes occur on this list, as well as discussions by project members about the project and product.
- We'll have one users list per language, created when sufficient demand is evident.
- We'll have one general list per language, created when sufficient demand is evident.
- We will try to avoid fragmenting the community by creating additional lists.
