But if the number of people miss-using this contact page far exceeds those correctly using it then we'll need to reconsider. This is something that we've had to watch out for from the start of the project. With the extremely large number of users we have, even if 0.01% of them misuse a contact form, it will cause us problem. So we need to be very careful. Having a prominent link that says "Help" on the wiki is very attractive to a user looking for help, even if it is totally unrelated to an admin question. In fact, that's all we've seen so far, right? People using the form for support requests rather than for login questions. And remember, the one case you had of a login question, he was able to find help eventually. -Rob > rgds > jan I >> >> (Also, our System Requirements page, linked to from the download page, >> lists this information: >> http://www.download.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_aoo34.html) >> >> -Rob >> >> >> > Thanks! >> > >> > --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org >> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org >> > >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
