OK, counter-point to the other thread... let's talk specifically about what
needs to happen next, given that some (plenty|most|all|???) of us want this

continue moving forward.
What has to happen next? What is the most important thing/things we could
be
working on? What could I do *right now* to help move things in a positive
direction?
How can we attract more developers? How do we counter the FUD that is
already being promulgated in response to the "retirement" discussion?
etc...
The "other thread" is actually liberating. Let's go public with the risk that
AOO will be shut down, despite the wishes and best efforts of its remaining developers.
I would like to see every possible medium used to present one message: "AOO is at
serious risk of dying, unless we get more volunteer developers, especially C++
programmers."
I know we need other skills as well, but I don't want to dilute or complicate
that message.
I would like a special mailing list recruitm...@openoffice.apache.org, just for
signing up and organizing new developers. No need for them to start with dev@,
especially the less experienced developers. Just send an e-mail to recruitment@
The message should go out every way it can:
us...@openoffice.apache.org
OpenOffice forums
Press release
memb...@apache.org
d...@community.apache.org
We should also strengthen the current download page appeal for developers to
state the risk of shut down.
