In the incubation proposal we said that we would not be requesting a ooo-user list, but would instead be going for phpBB user forums. But that was then, now is now. OOo has a user list and a user forum, which you can find here: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ (That is just the English language one. There are others ) and here: http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive It looks like the forums get the far greater level of activity. But it would be good to quantify that. In any case, I think the activity level is high enough (forums claim 97 users online at the forums at this instant, and 42 active threads today alone) that I think it would be inappropriate for users who want to post a questions and check back the next day for an answer. But lists might be good for other kinds of things. Does anyone see a difference other than the obvious difference of technology, between the OOo user list and the forums? Are they being used for different kinds of things? Or are they just different ways of doing the same things? -Rob
