Bernhard, I, for one, didn't know Daniel's view on this. I've been on this list for about 6 months, mainly as a lurker. Likewise, I had no idea that there were any problems between oooauthors and the documentation project. (The rest of this message isn't particularly aimed at you, but a more general response to the thread and indeed general content of the list over the last few months, so please don't take this personally.) The more time I spend on this list, the more I seem to encounter different groups of people with radically different agendas telling each other what to do. I am also sick of the continual ad hominem attacks that seem to occur on a regular basis on this list. I'd like to thank those who HAVE helped me over the course of the year in my own efforts to market OOo. It's clear, however, that my own business strategy is not targetting the same markets as the official OOo marketing project, and therefore there's little (if any) benefit to the list in having me post, nor is much benefit to me in subscribing. I still believe in the project. I believe in the integrity and commitment of virtually everyone on this list. However, I think it's a shame that so much of the content is devoted to rubbishing other peoples' efforts. I happen to believe that there is a need for two distinct lists - one to promote the "OOo marketing strategy" and one to help local groups, like my company (there are 3 of us) to help us try our own marketing of OOo to different markets outside the segments defined in the core marketing strategy.
