Among the services hosted by Oracle on the legacy OOo servers are over 300 mailing lists, including the discuss@openoffice.org mailing list ^ you are reading now.

This ^^ Does this mean 'discuss' is being merged with 'users' on the Apache system? Or is that an error in the new list name? That is correct. We're combining both lists into the ooo-users list. Although some people explained that the user and discuss list had different goals initially, when they were first created, none of us were able to discern any actually difference today in what topics were being discussed. Both lists ranged from project discussions, support questions, general chat, etc. The OpenOffice.org project had 300+ mailing lists. The Apache project will have far fewer lists, but hopefully higher energy, more active lists. So we hope to have no more than 10 or so lists in the end, mapping each of the legacy lists into a new list. You can see the proposed mapping, for the top 100 OOo lists here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Mailing+lists Regards, -Rob -- Mike Scott Harlow, Essex, England -- - To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help -- - To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

That's an interesting page - first time I've seen the numbers of subscribers anywhere. Is anyone else concerned that the number of 'users' subscribers is only 1852? It seems remarkably few to me, especially as the 'dev' list has well over 600. -- Mike Scott Harlow, Essex, England -- - To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

It seems remarkably few to me, especially as the 'dev' list has well over 600. Many more users participate via the Community Forums, at: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ There are also versions in other languages: http://user.services.openoffice.org/ The English-language support forum has over 45,000 members, for example. Based on the feedback I've received, some users hate email lists, while others hate forums. So we will continue to have both for user support questions and users can select to participate in either venues, or both.

Technically, there is no merger. Both users@ OO.o and discuss@ OO.o are expected to disappear. The only counterpart offered for either on Apache OO.o is ooo-users@ incubator.apache.org. That is, there is no ooo-discuss@ incubator.apache.org being planned. Sorry, - Dennis E.
