The point is to be able to answer the obvious questions about OOo
and to be able to point to actual news sources. We have tried
versions of this before we had the wiki at our disposal--didn't
work, too much of a hassle and was confusing, too. But even having
links to locally maintained sites would be great. Just something
that quickly gives visitors what they need to form (positive)
judgements.
I think this is important: that we (can) give right information, not
all information.
Also because - as you mention - maintaining wiki's (or a nice
database for a search on catagories ...) is not easy.
Actually, my experience has been that maintaining a wiki is quite easy.
Well, maintaining in the sence of adding text, is not the same as
maintaining in the sence that the right information is gathered,
selected, and edited. That kind of maintaining is more the problem of
course.

Only my idea is, that small improvements shall work out better than
huge new projects. Unless we come to the conclusion that our current
approach is totally wrong, of course.
You sound down, Cor :-) Winter is almost over :-)
Ahh Thanks :-) Maybe that's it. Although I've hardly seen winter, more
like a continues autumn over here. Rain and wind.
Oh, I didn't mean any huge project at all. I meant a wiki like what we
have, what I created--or anyone can--populated with links to existing
archives. I didn't say we have to spam the world with our name, or have
all the boring stuff there. I meant that rather than having many
destinations and no single centre, we can have a centre or hub with
other news archives. There would not even be a problem of synching
central with satellite news. No: we just have links to those other
archives on the central.
OK, I misunderstood you. Sorry. (Probably the rain ;-) )
Thus, a user goes to, say, www.openoffice.org and sees the newslinks I
have there. She clicks on, say, "All the News", and is taken to
wiki.services./news, which has links to the FR, DE, BR-PT, whatever
news archives, each with its pretty icon to signify its identity.
That's all; very simple, not a project. And I think it should be done,
as it will allow us to do what I also suggested in my first post.
That's pretty easy indeed. So you want to know if the Dutch/Flanders OOo
project, and the other NL-projects of course, have such a page with
(selected) news?
Cheers,
Cor
