By naming some products, but not others, we're being arbitrarily restrictive. But listing the actual product under whose aegis this forum is hosted is merely being accurate. Whether the forums are restrictive or not will depend on the behavior of forum participants to questions from users of products other than Apache OpenOffice. As stated before, I hoping we'll be helpful where we can, and refer users to the respective projects otherwise. I'd be equally happy with a neutral: "User community support forum for Apache OpenOffice.org and related products". -Rob > S. >
