The OpenOffice.org® Community is pleased to announce the addition of
Japanese language support to its Users' Community Forum. This web-based
Community Forum brings experts and users together to provide support to
users of OpenOffice.org, the free alternative to Microsoft Office. The
Forum is free to users and is free of advertisements.
Since its launch six months ago, the Forum has greatly exceeded
expectations, attracting a registered membership of nearly 13,000.
Together, these members have generated a growing knowledge base of 90,000
postings. These include both answers to specific user questions, and user
generated tutorials. Originally launched in English, the Forum added
support for Hungarian in February, French in March, and now Japanese in
June. Further languages are expected during the rest of 2008.
Drew Jensen, one of the Forum administrators, explained the appeal of the
Forum:
"The reality is that most day to day IT support is provided by friends or
colleagues. If you've a problem with a spreadsheet, you talk to Amrita in
Accounts who's the in-house expert. The OpenOffice.org Users' Community
Forum covers the globe, and brings together experts and novices to provide
a level of quality support that money literally can't buy. People
appreciate that the Community has given them this world class software for
free. Helping others via the Forum is one way to give something back."
Nakata, Maho, the Japanese Native-Language Project Lead, welcomed the news:
"I am very pleased with this announcement. I encourage all Japanese
speaking Community members to become involved with the Forum so it
becomes an essential resource for our Native Language Community".
All OpenOffice.org users are invited take advantage of what the Forum has
to offer:
* search the knowledge base
* browse the forum categories which are conveniently arranged by
application and task
* ask questions, or help by answering questions posted by other
users.
