Seems so - glad you said it not me though ;-)

maybe we could use moodle? Nice and adaptable, but I am sure there are

other tools. If we need hosting with php and mysql support, I will
provide it.

Maybe there should be a fundamental re-think about how participation

the paradigm for learning because students can freely form their own
learning communities and easily collaborate to create new information.

and by opening up the contributions more resources come to the table.
There has been quite a lot of talk about Wikis - maybe its time to

Wiki-style. There is a potential reduction in costs for Sun in doing
this because it reduces the demand for Collabnet. That of course might
be a political thing in that Collabnet might not want to reduce its
contribution but even if the same resource was committed better value
would be achieved because that resource would be more focussed and one

a Wiki is really trivial, getting one started is trivial, the

like the marketing project and documentation projects being wikis.

The advantage would be that it would be easier to contribute and any

In education here all the talk is about Web 2.0 and it changing Wikipedia shows that you can give more freedom than was thought sensible analyse all aspects of the project and decide which essentially need to be secure through SSH tunnels etc and which can be openly participative would therefore expect better quality in that area of the work.

I'm kind of lost here... we *have* wikis. I have pointed members of this project to our main page and we (the OOo community) use the site a lot: We have used them for writing press releases and for other marketing things, like synchronizing the 2.0.1 release and now will surely use it for the 2.0.2 release and beyond. We also use it for other marketing related things. You might also want to look at the recent discussions in the CC. We touch on the things you mention.
