And I found another couple of similarly completely uncategorized forums.
The forums at http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ look much
more promising, but are not these two products expected to diverge
more and more? In my understanding LibreOffice is a new project that
_started_ with OOo code but will be building separately. Or will
changes made to LibreOffice be merged back into OOo? Obviously I am
not a developer so I do not understand how these "branches" or "forks"
work. I'm not asking to be educated here, that would be OT. Just
saying that if LibreOffice is indeed a new product that will become
less and less like OOo it ought to have its own "official" nice forum.
Meanwhile sure, the link to
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ should be added
prominently on the help page of the libreoffice site. Since I am not
any kind of expert or web developer and have little understanding of
how OS projects work, it would be silly for me to ask to be on the web
team just to make one edit. I hope someone more appropriate for web
team membership does that soon.
thanks,

I have some doubts as to whether the two products will diverge now that
Oracle has decided to end its involvement with OpenOffice.org . I
suspect that at some point rather than let OOo just whither and die it
will merge with The Document Foundation and the two will become
essentially one. If that happens it might be a good idea to use both
names, OOo could end up being the Windows version and LO the Linux and
other OS version. Or something like that.
