Hi oldgnome (way cool name by the way!),
The issue tracker works as a good place to attach files for collaboration too.... but some folks aren't comfy with it. In my mind, using either the Issue Tracker or OOoAuthors is a learning process, so why not learn the OpenOffice.org tools? But, there is choice, which sometimes is cool, until you are standing in front of 5 flavors of bengay ointment... Times were easier when there was one!
I can send some pretty detailed instructions to run the Issue Tracker if anyone needs them. (They actually live in the FAQs that Peter pointed to earlier. I may also have another blurb that could help that I can dig off my hdd, but maybe I incorp'd that into the info posted in the FAQs. I can't remember.) Actually the Issue Tracker is a handier tool than OOoAuthors, because those interested can add themselves to the cc field, and then when updates occur on the issue report, they will be notified via email.
The user-faq project is or was the support project, but they changed its name a while back. If you assign the issue to that project, we won't be pestering developers with the traffic either... I think that's what I would do... User-faq is a fairly quiet project so far.
I have an April 15 deadline for some work I have yet to begin.... (Yikes!) Can you guys run with this? I promise to pop in here and there, when I need a break from it, and I'll come back as soon as I'm done, I promise. I'm very sorry to do this, but it's pretty important stuff.... And I must do it. It seems the last few days or weeks have been insanely busy from all directions. I need to go quiet for a bit. Again I'm very sorry, but I promise to come back to it, especially if it's needed... I hope you will understand.
If you use the issue tracker, feel free to put my name in the cc field. My OOo user name is mackmoon. If it's a hurdle to run, holler on the lists, and hopefully folks will help you drive the thing. I know some folks struggle with it, but it's pretty slick once you get used to it.
If you choose another way, that is too... just let us know so we can follow!
:)
Hope this helps, Diane
