Quoting Rigel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Presently the OOo initiative has several hundred if not thousands of
members. Some of them even get paid. There are a number of developers
donated by SUN Microsystems, and various user lists, language forums,
discussion dialogues and the such. This doesn't even scratch the surface
of users manual and permanent archiving needs of guides and reference
material.
I would like to extend the idea of implementing the advantage of taking
ahold of Various OOo blogs, for different initiatives that are being
worked on for OOo, and an OOo wiki designed to provide adaptable content
to users as the software, and the communities grow. This would allow
users, administrators, user support, and discuss members, as well as
various language lists to collectively share their knowledge in a
centralized, open environment.
* I found this page on WikiPedia >>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openoffice.org
* A new public wiki could be sponsord here in the mean time >>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openoffice.org
* MediaWiki can be launched on a server inside sun or remotely to host
their own wiki.>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediawiki
I like MediaWiki because it has been designed with the user in mind, and
with the internet in mind. The software is still evolving, and works
very well in my opinion.
Does anyone like these ideas? I don't see how OOo and its supporters
have anything to lose really, except maybe a few keystrokes.

We have a wiki por OOo extensions however there seem to be some death OOo
projects like oooextras.sf.net which have been not moving for certain years. A
wiki is a good idea but we really need to know what is that we triying to do.
We have a knowledgebase already as well as a marketing site, there have been
encouragement of the community to do sites like http://www.sreadopenoffice.org
which is still in development. Others such as OOoAuthor and
TutorialsforOpenOffice.org are example of some documentation sites and
OOoForums.org is for discussions of use.
Wiki is great but is also a challenge, writting a book in a wiki is hard to
download and print and most end users are more used to have a PDF of
the 'book'
and print it out. So you would need to manage the effiency of a web-based only
OOo guide.
