Maybe you've seen this? We really had two headings for end-user support type that I combined under one heading. My feeling about contact_us.html is that it would be mostly used by folks with problems with the product who do not want to use BZ. So I tried to make the wording more friendly for that purpose. I left the references to BZ because this is important, of course, but maybe applies to more indigenous product issues than something like "I can't locate my old documents" or "my printer no longer works with OpenOffice". Anyway, we can change again if what is there now doesn't suit the intention -- trying to steer users to our primary support mechanisms. > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > dev-unsubscribe@openoffice.**apache.org<dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "When in doubt, cop an attitude." -- Cat laws
