At the end of the day, typed or scanned, the URL either landed somewhere usable or not. Which is to say, it is the type of media that adds the additional need for long term stability to the URL IMO, hard copy printing, and perhaps even video, being such media. So I think we actually agree :), that I and others, should take extra caution when choosing URL's, of any type, for printed materials. Also, maybe I'm pointing out a difference without much of a distinction. Anyway - I do like the specific glyph Simon produced and the general idea, for sure, definitely thinking we ought to incorporate such in a variety of artifacts. Best wishes, //drew ps - Seems like the hub.libreoffice.org/donate is a good idea - but best I suppose to discuss that in a different thread? > > ciao > Christian > -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
