I also really appreciate the tidy and clear layout of the web site (at least the non-bugzilla-part). mozilla.org has a similar straight layout. This is, what attracts people. Good work! The only thing that is really missing on the web site is a link to the best resources on the web including all wikis etc. - but this is now far off topic. :-)))) But I think you named the main problem somehow: > Think mostly it works currently like this: If someone wants > some feature to be implemented, people propose the thing on a > low level mailinglist of openoffice.org, like one of the native > lang discussion lists, or personal blog and a call for voting > on some issue (directly linking to the issue).

It simply takes to long ... you have an idea, write a proposal, try to find supporters, try to gain many votes (how? - there is no voting mailing list and I can't read all issues in BugZilla in order to identify the best), have to "raise" it to upper levels, have to try to convince the project leader ... this does not sound very promising. I do not want to bother the mailing list members, so: Where could this general issue of how good ideas have to be promoted can be discussed? This is really frustrating ... a little ... :-))) -- Cheers, Vince ''' ô¿ô - http://www.openshortcut.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
