As my preceding forwards indicate, we're getting some interesting
posts to [email protected], including offers of help, but they are
not getting adequate responses. We're missing opportunities here to
grow the project.
Is there anything we can do to improve this?
1) Continue as now, and I'll forward "interesting" posts to ooo-dev?
2) Send a note to [email protected] telling them that we've moved
over to ooo-dev and inviting them to join?
3) Auto-responder for [email protected] telling them that we've moved
over to ooo-dev?
4) Shut down [email protected] to new posts?
I liked the one reply that was sent to someone offering to help:
"I think your best bet to help participate in Open Office is now at the
Apache Development. Apache should be the new owner of the Open Office
Source code and is now working very hard at porting it into their
system. The source in now in their "incubator". This is usually a
temporary 6 month stay until officially accepted.
Every thing you should need to know about helping to participate with
the project is located at:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html";
If no one objects I will monitor the list and reply with something like
the above and point people to the AOOo with page.
SUPER! Good idea Andy and nice that you volunteered for this important
assignment. This transition is likely to take a while and we don't want
to discourage new developers in this interim.
