I simply solved a BZ issue. Basically I find the idea of a contact page valid, which is why I implemented it.
I dont understand why you disagree so strongly now , and did not even comment the BZ issue, it was announced on this list and I did wait 72 hours before implement it. For sure it can be taken off again, just make a BZ and it will be handled in due time, no problem. Of course next time someone makes a BZ, announces it, and it remains uncommented, I will still hesitate to implement it, since it is obvious that 72 hours is not enough to guarantee that my time isnt wasted. The next higher level is a vote which I honestly find a bit over the head.

I have 3 options: 1) keep it as it is 2) keep the frame and text as it is, but only before login 3) remove it again. I cannot change the word "help" unless someone comes with another word that is in the translated messages (pls remember a lot of users use the site in their own language). rgds jan I. > > Regards, > Andrea. > > > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > dev-unsubscribe@openoffice.**apache.org<dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
