Robert mentioned one for CZ-NL >(I forget the URL). That wasn't a fork, was it? I think it really >depends on how it's done. I think the issue here is coordinating efforts and controlling the work done on OOo, as well as its dissemination. We've been pretty careful to make sure that there is lots of freedom but not chaos, and that work is done, for the most part on OOo. As Charles has suggested out, a site that essentially duplicates and competes with extant work will naturally distract from the OOo proper site. We do not want that. We do want a site that complements and is fully integrated. I'm also a little puzzled at the need of this.... spreadfirefox served a need that I'm not all sure OOo has. Our NLC projects already do what is being suggested, pretty much, and our marketing project includes things similar to spreadfirefox. So, what is the need? Put another way, I can see lots of dangers here but few real benefits. > >Cheers, Daniel. > Best, Louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
