Hi,
With the Community Council wanting funds raised by the sale of Authors 
Documentation donated to Team OpenOffice.org e.V I decided to check it 
out. The only link I could find on the OOo site is here under 
miscellaneous .
http://tools.openoffice.org/dev_docs/howtocontribute.html
and it is broken.

I located Team OOo here <http://www.teamopenoffice.de> My reaction when 
the site came up was "You have got to be kidding". The only additional 
information not visible is an application for membership, in German and a 
three page "Statute" also in German. Even if I could read the "Statute" it 
would not change my view, it would take a lot more than three pages.

Having more than 20 years administrative experience with a non profit 
organisation raising and distributing public funds, I would not donate nor 
recommend anyone donate to Team OOo e.V.

An organisation dealing in public donations must operate transparently. My 
impression is that Team OO.o e.V are deliberately not transparent.

Putting aside my disgust. I wonder how many potential contributors checked 
out Team OO.o e.V as I did and just walked away.
