[email protected] is - by far - the main list for people to talk in general about OOo. It is the "catchall" list where you can talk about features you think should be added to OOo, or taken away, or ways to improve the project, or things you think are cool about OOo or open source or stuff like that. [email protected] is - by far - the main list for traffic, answers to users questions, and way too many FAQ and "OMG! PEOPLE ARE SELLING OOO ON [EMAIL PROTECTED]@~~" garbage. If you want to help people use OOo, then Users@ is the place for you. [email protected] is the main list for Marketing stuff. Some of the things you've talked about are not directly related to marketing. Those things belong in Discuss@ or some other list. Some of the distinctions can be up for intereptation, but generally, if you're asked by more than one person to move a thread to a different list, you probably should do so. [email protected] is where we go to yell at each other when people get sick of reading it on the other lists. Many other lists exists, some with very specific purposes. IMHO there are to many lists :) far to many. > I agree - but that's part of open source, forking upon forking upon yet anothering.... I mean Discuss@ was created to handle stuff that didn't fit elsewhere - social@ was created to handle stuff that didn't fit on discuss@ -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
