I did. But trying to get a press release or an article through all
the bureocracy is an exercise in frustration. I know of one
volunteer who quit because she worked very hard for days on a press
release that would have made interesting news and her work was
promptly shot down.
This is false, that getting a press release is a bureaucratic effort.
But you are practiced at spreading FUD of this sort. As far as I can
tell, you blame essentially nonexistent bureaucracy when you get
impatient. I'm tired of that strategy.
For what it is worth, the press release process is actually quite
simple--as are many things in OOo. If you would like to be
convinced, take a look at the facts. Check out the process on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] The latest round, initiated by Craig
Adams, who has penned more than a few press releases, is archived here:

It reflects collaboration, not bureaucracy.
