Now that the LWN article has moved from being 'subscriber only' to
'general release', I've re-read all the comments:

The balance of opinion seems to be:
"Seriously, breaking news of a PR campaign *can* derail it ... That
said, the OOo marketing people who made it Google-visible before it
was
supposed to go public are the real idiots here!"
I'm not sure that our mailing lists *are* Google-visible,
Depends on the list. "Private" lists requiring someone to be logged
in to view the archives are not.
but the point
is still valid. They are public, and anyone can join and listen in.
"Get
Legal" is the first in a series of attention-grabbing campaigns as we
develop the proposition "Why OpenOffice.org". I believe we will get
most
impact if we can maintain an element of surprise.
Comments?
Conduct PR discussions on [EMAIL PROTECTED], which requires one to login
to view the archives.
We have of course had this discussion before, and the alternative
then--offlist discussions or using really private lists--is
problematical, both because it can be a pain to track and because it
defies the principles of openness.
Hence, let's use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for discussions like this and accept
that it is not perfect (spies) but is good enough.
BTW, I hardly think the Get Legal campaign was derailed b/c it was
made public before it was officially made public :-)
Ciao
