Hi Andrew,

I was the bad guy who removed all the links out of the document to non .openoffice.org domains. We tried since year that in official OpenOffice.org document there should be no links to non .openoffice.org domain. So by seeing the massive amount of the oooninja.com links was to remove them (without checking all the content behind those links). Right now I'm unsure on how to deal with this because most content seems to be very valueable for OpenOffice.org user. Thank you very much for all that work !

Since I found out that I also not discovered all external links I'm wondering what a good policy for those policies could be.

On the one hand I would something important as release notes also available offline with as much useful information as possible. But this is also difficult with that many links into OOo wiki.
On the other hand to cut off many useful links might be also problematic.

By looking at the current release notes I think they are much better than in the release before, but they still contain too many links to blogs, specification and issues and is too detailed at all. Maybe it would be more useful to strip down these release notes into one document and just add one external link to the NewFeature document for further information.

Hi,

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.

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.



Best regards,
Andrew

** For what it's worth, I heard sr.openoffice.org is translating my
new article as their release notes.
