But I do want to alert you to a few things that you may have missed. First, this list, like virtually all the Apache OpenOffice lists, is a public list. For that reason, we urge caution when putting out private information, like phone numbers (hint). Second, this, like other lists, is a community lists: it's a mail list that is read and responded to by many, not just any one single individual, though it may seem that way at times :-) The custom--not codified but pretty much accepted--is that if a person is named, then others on the list who could very ably reply, don't; they wait until the named person replies. So, to keep the conversation expanded and active, the better tactic is to use: * All * [Name], et al., or [Name], etc. or [Name], * or just, what most of us end up using, Hi Cheers and welcome again, Louis

Is there a similar facility for AOO? We don't have our own system for doing this, but we used something called Google Moderator to collect and rate ideas last year. You can see here the 944 ideas from 1,312 users: http://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=2011d5 2.

Check the posibilty of implementing this When we did our brainstorming the idea of having smaller, incremental update installs came up as well. It is being investigated. One complexity is that there are many upgrade paths. You can upgrade from version 3.4.1 to 4.0, but also 3.4.0 to 4.0 or even 3.3 or 3.2 to 4.0. So if we do an incremental update, we might want to focus on the most common upgrade path, likely an upgrade from the immediate predecessor version. -Rob With Warm Regards V.Kadal Amutham 919444360480 914422396480
