Sadly, the fact is that things WON'T change. Ask anyone at the website list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I tried to get the front-page image changed many times, all to no avail. I tried make simple changes to the front page. But nothing. I tried to make very MINOR edits to the contribution page (which is supposed to be my project) but nope, nothing. Back in January I tried to improve the usability of the front page. There was lots of discussion, lots of work done. It's something that should have been done in a week. Today, two months later, there's nothing. That's why people feel like this: http://website.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=6808 Please, do go ahead and take a poll from the website list. Make a list of members who have participated in the last 3 months. Contact each one off list and ask them: On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is 'completely disagree' and 10 is 'completely agree', please rate the following statements: * I have real influence on the OOo website. * My contributions are appreciated. * The website is dynamic and changes often. * The website is clear and easy to use. Please, do go ahead and make that poll (off-list). And please post the results.
