I would like to agree. I have been running the Doc project along with Mr. Singleton as well. For the past month, I have been BURIED under a mountain of projects at work. I have a regular 40 hour a week job that is unrelated to Sun or OpenOffice.org. > > This doesn't mean, that our members only lurk around and do nothing. No, > definately not.

I am not part of the build process with Sun, so this would have to come from the build managers from Sun to get this information. > > Well ... sorry for the maybe missleading subject of the mail.

I have not had the time to devout to the project like it deserves. I wouldn't mind being CO-lead in case the other person has to go on vacation or something, but it definately been interesting keeping track of work let alone everything on OOo. On the doc project, I have been able to rely pretty heavily on Mr. Singleton while I have been busy with work. I am sorry that I hadn't mentioned this first, I hope everyone doesn't feel I let them down. But I am glad that it has been brought up now, so it can be remedied. The QA project is a very important part of OOo, and it should be given the attention it deserves. -- Scott Carr OpenOffice.org Documentation Co-Lead --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
