ok, your original post compared these two links... http://contributing.openoffice.org/programming.html vs. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Development and while the programming.html probably does align quite well with the Development page on the wiki, the main contributing page is kind of portal to various types of "contribution" so I don't think they're equivalent. And, more's to the point, I think this would be quite a signficant communicaton structure change, and one that I don't really think we should be making on this list. It looks like Juergen Schmidt is the current Community Council coordinator...see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Community_Council I think the CC should address this. We've already kind of discussed a web site overhaul (well a little given the Kenai delay) but I really don't think it's appropriate for us to enter into this type of wholescale reorganization of how information is to be presented. > >> project managers are the appropriate contacts for dealing with this. > Well, the writer project already took that step: > http://sw.openoffice.org/ well OK, fine...if an individual project want to do this...great! > but I am more concerned about the "generic contributing entrypoint" > which does not clearly map to one project ... yes, and this is one of my points > > YMMV. > > Best Regards, > > Bjoern > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > -- ============================================================ Kay Schenk "Greatness is not a function of circumstance.
