I did a lot of editing of the Features 2.4 wiki page that (to my
surprise) became the release notes
<http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.4.0.html>. As I could
find relevant information, I included links to other sites: GullFOSS
and (my site) OOoNinja.com. All the links to latter disappeared, but
the text (like "Article") remains.
My first reaction was of some concern, because I vaguely remember that
I've removed links from the info. Was in an extremely busy time, when
sometimes I do stupid things. Further looking/thinking made clear to
me that I only removed links to the OOo tech-announcements and double
issues (documentation related). Pffew..
And I see, that you do not mean the wiki itself (1), but the main
OOo-site.
Are these links not acceptable, or is this a mistake? I hope I am
providing content valuable to users and welcomed by the community**.
If not, let me know directly.
If this omission was deliberate you may have missed the veoh.com video
link which I made.
I consider your blogs/site as valuable information. But OTOH, it is a
kind of linking to one's personal site, maybe that's the reason why
some others have their doubts for the links on the main OOo-site?
The <http://www.openoffice.org> home page itself used to link to various
sites such as
<http://nothickmanuals.info/doku.php/articles:schedulemacro>. Now the
news items moved to <http://www.openoffice.org/news/index.html>. Is
there a difference?
Yes of course. Can't you see it?
What - in the lines of the links at the homepage migth be a good one -
is a single link at the bottom of the http://development...2.4.0.html
page, pointing towards you blogs as source of interesting articles.
Speaking of /news/index.html, weren't [1] and [2] "in the media" (on
Slashdot, Digg homepage, etc.)? :)

Can be worthy discussion. Anyway better than just removing without
notification, I think.
To get to know that all, I guess we've to ask at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cc-ed by now.
It's OK with me personally whatever is decided about this issue, but if
the links are not restored, could the OpenGL 3D transitions bit be
could be clarified to avoid confusion:
1. It's an extension
2. The extension is not yet available
3. It's only for Linux
The link[1] would explain that and provide a nice video to prove it's
not an anticlimactic April Fool's joke. :)
Regards,
Cor
