Mailman has the concept of 'umbrella' lists... Maybe we could create 'micro' lists - say, one for Writer, one for Calc, one for Impress, etc - then make the 'discuss' and 'users' lists parent lists (or is it vice versa? - I don't use them so not sure of the relationships)... The way it would work is, if someone only has a quick questions about Writer, they ask there. People on the Writer list only see questions/answers about Writer, and people on the discuss/users lists see questions about all of them. When someone subscribes, they could then simply check boxes next to the lists/topics they are interested in, and wouldn't need to know they are actually subscribing to separate lists. I do know that the users/discuss lists volume is way too heavy for an 'average user' to get any benefit from. For example, since checking my email last on Friday evening, there have been 150+ new messages to this list... this would simply terrify anyone who subbed for a simple answer to a simple question. -- Best regards, Charles -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
