Are you subscribed to the recruitment - volunteering list? If so, I would appreciate your (possibly constructive :-) criticism, as I tried to reply to a couple of people but I do not seem to have had any success so far. This invitation is also valid for anyone would like to help, of course. I believe it's better to talk publicly on this list, but I could also accept private messages on this topic. Thank you in advance and best regards, -- Arrigo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
