Let's try a different approach: if the item exists on the forums,
there will be _de_facto_ a support ? (yet the chicken egg issue .. ).
Hi Eric,
It's hard to disagree with that - I'd just add, it's a case of lack
of a champion versus blocking. In the Spanish forum Alexandro has
been, is, a champion for OOo4Kids/OOoLight. Notice that the different
forums are not exact copies of each other and indeed the es/forum
explicitly list the two application. I am a little bit surprised that
the forum did not go ahead and open separate sub-pages. Why not, I
have no idea, but I am certain it wasn't because anyone blocked
anything.
Why not?
My personal answer no user needs for that:
Only 23 post in EN forum, most of them announcement by Eric on new
versions:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=OOo4Kids
One post for OOoLight:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=OOoLight
From ~ 38000 posts.
My posts cannot be as visible as they were on the main banneer (and we
didn't announce OOoLight in fact)
Who use OOo4Kids/OOoLight can help to others, I not know we have such
volunteers, but will ask it.
OOo4Kids/OOoLight project members can join and help their users on
forums.
Until this happens, not useful to can claim on the forums first page
that we support OOo4Kids/OOoLight.
No doubt this is usefull for us to be visible.
And one more time we hit the chicken egg issue.
I agree with Eric here. Having OOo4Kids/OOoLight listed on the first
page would be an invitation to ask question about these flavors of
OpenOffice in the forum also. If this evolves chances are high that more
users are also able to answer special questions regarding these flavors.
Listing only selective few others flavors is an explicit discourage for
users of the not listed ones.
So the question is whether the forum in general aims to be open for the
users of all flavors of OpenOffice? If so it would be wise to state that
explicitly in the forum header.
Kind regards,
Ingrid
