Hi CPH,
can we please update the pages pointing to the consolidated
FAQ in the wiki? People still get confused. I am fine with
changing the front page myself, if you give me the developer
role. My observer role request is still pending.
Thanks
Frank

it looks to me like the User-FAQ project is basically dead.
The main page displays confusing, misleading or outdated
information about FAQs and I would like to get that straigthened
out (point to the Documentation/FAQ on the wiki).
AFAIK, user-FAQ is owned by CP Hennessy. Scott Carr probably knows more
about this than I do. I have never had write access to that project, or
I would have changed its page long ago.

Sorry for the lack of communication. Both personal and business life
has been filling my time.
No big thing.
The pages on user-faq are mostly out-dated at this time - may new
users do not know how to interact with mailinglists never mind how to
find FAQs so they have bit-rotted, as I had concentrated on answering
questions on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm not sure that we can actually move mailing lists to another
project, so you may want tot maintain this list if only for the actual
archive.
I will find that out. Maybe we could keep the archives but
deactivate the actual list? In any case, I would like to ask if there
is a need for a separate User FAQ project or should this rather be covered
by the doc project? We already started to consolidate the FAQs here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ
As for how the documentation.ooo and the oooauthors projects work
together that is not for me to say, except that it was initially setup
to cater for users who found the CVS infrastructure to much of a
burden for normal authoring.
Moving to a different, a wiki based model will make collaboration
much easier on doc.oo.o, I also would like to find a way to avoid
Issuezilla for project maintenance. That said, I think it's the right
time to use a common communication channel for all OOo documentation
related issues so both groups can benefit from each others activities
and better coordinate to avoid duplication of efforts.
That's my suggestion.
Frank
