Hi guys ... ladies [ bows ] I think that giving @LibreOffice.Org email addresses out to even non-members would be a good way of getting the name Libre Office out there and visible. People don't assume that Yahoo is represented by people with an @Yahoo.Co.Uk address so could we do

Yes, obviously we can't force people to use any email address! For me the question is how to be attractive enough that people do want to choose to use it. Often just making something exclusive makes people want it more, especially if there is a known kudos behind it. One thing that worries

What do you mean by My server has excellent 24/7 technical support.? Is your server @ Amazon or other amazon like Company? For a Document Management System DMS, I will definitely suggest to use Alfresco in a secure place which guarantees 24/7 up time and support, but definitely not a home server.
