It is not necessary to be hostile and make personal attacks, just
because of some basic criticism - especially since you also write that
you have no official connection to OOo.

So you mean no official people or developers read this list?
No, but nobody maintaining the mailing list web frontend does. This is
done at Collab.Net, the web hoster for OOo. AFAIK this question has been
discussed with them, but to no avail.
Seems that we have accepted the defeat, but just to bring this
discussion to a fruitful level, I will see if I can get some information
whether this is a technical problem or just something CN hasn't done yet.

Certainly there must be something better than Collab.Net out there.
Wouldn't it be a good idea if someone with official capacity in the
organization were to go looking for it?
On a different subject -- I know, it is not good form to change the
subject within a reply, but I have noticed that the silence has been
absolutely deafening on the subject of Oracle buying Sun, and what
effect it will likely have on OOo.
A. Will Oracle have no interest in OOo, and cut it adrift? In which
case the organization will have to become independent of any major
corporations.
B. Will Oracle see OOo as a convenient club to beat Microsoft with and
put a lot of resources into it to make it a true MS Office killer? I
understand that there is little love lost between Larry Ellison and
Gates & Balmer.
C. Will the status quo be maintained?
D. None of the above, something else entirely?
Someone please retitle this thread and let's have some discussion on the
subject.
