Well, it may be laborious to overcome the hurdles, but it is not difficult. One way would be for someone to feel responsible for the newcomers and give them concrete support in their first steps in the project. But I've been having this discussion for 15 years now, and it's regularly put down by the fact that such support for newcomers would potentially be interference. e.g. I personally would never have found my way to OpenOffice if I had been fobbed off as a newcomer by being told I have free choice in what I want to do - no, I owe my being here to people like Andre, Thomas or Eric who had the right human feeling to give me hints at the beginning which tasks would be suitable for me. greetings, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
