Can you also tell which ones they are? On what factual basis? I, personally, had noted e.g. in the confluence-Wiki pages which are important for our daily work AND remain. Have you read that? > I suggest that we create an archive page (suggestion: archive.openoffice.org) > Site, and move pages there that have only historical value. I had already suggested, and continue to suggest, we move all old pages to an archive. If only certain pages should be moved there, then this must be voted, because it can't be that someone decides randomly. > There is no rush, yes, that is how it is.

The former work at OOo was worth at least as much as the current work at AOO. greetings, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
