if you look through http://gmane.org/find.php?list=openoffice, you will find http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.devel.documentation as well as http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.devel.education (the following one, as an example ... ;) ). It is named somehow differently, so I would say it is a list for workgroups as well, as long as they were subscribed to gmane. HTH Thomas. -- BOFH excuse #201: RPC_PMAP_FAILURE
