Doesn't the dropping of the .org imply renaming the product not just the
project? The name of the product is OpenOffice.org because the name
OpenOffice was registered elsewhere. If the new name was 'Apache
OpenOffice' would that be different enough from the other OpenOffice (a
company inthe Netherlands I believe) to not cause problems?
I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. It was just a hint to think about new
things. You know: new game --> new possibilities. ;-)
Back when it was Sun's OpenOffice.org and then Oracle's OpenOffice.org
the 'Sun' and 'Oracle' didn't make it into part of the product name
It was the decision of the companies not to do it.
itself. (I'm just curious. I'd like to see the back of the .org myself.)
That's OK.
BTW:
Publish permission means I can write articles and admin rights means to
write articles *and* to moderate comments. Right?

AFAIK we have not yet decided if we want to remove the ".org"
extension or keep like it was in the old project.
BTW:
What will be the URL name?
So, before a name will be setup we should clarify these things first.

Ok, so nobody has approached Infra yet, I'll be proactive and create
it, then we
need a list of people who will be admins and those that will be
publishers.
Let's start with the name of blog, unlike other things, the blog name
should be
permanent and reflect the name that the project will have upon
graduation
to a TLP. (Migrating/renaming blogs is a royal pita so we don't do it.)
Apache openoffice.org should be the name of the Blog ?

Hi Manfred,
did you check all the other (not US/UK) user ML as well?
No, I did it mostly out of curiosity. Although I speak multiple
computer
languages, my human language skills are English with a little high
school
German over 30 years ago.
If others know ....
IMHO we need a statement for all the current subscribers on the actual
user MLs. You can hardly regain customers you lost.
Agreed. Someone should write an announcement for use to disseminate.
An announcement should probably include:
- introduce AOOo (incubating)
- a promise that all bugs, user forums, and mailing lists will be
migrated
carefully and people can continue as now.
- a call for developers (code and documentation) to join us on
ooo-dev w/ a
mention and link to the Apache Way.
- introduce an AOOo blog so that the Community can follow our progress.
Regards,
Dave

Is there a way for list moderators to get a tally of list

Or is this an admin permission?
On another thread and list I saw this:
"Email ooo-dev-help@ from your moderator address for more
information."
I'm interesting in knowing how many people are currently subscribed,
especially a sense of the ratio of "lurkers" to active participants,
contributors to users, etc. This could be one indication of whether
we are ready for a ooo-user list now.
I have been lurking on us...@openoffice.org - there have been
approximately 130 emails since June 24. Not a very high volume I
haven't seen anything regarding Apache OOo.

Dave
