What do you mean? The old OOo project mailing lists don't make sense in the new setup and they should be closed. The more I think about that, the more I like the idea to close the existing mailing lists soon. The [email protected] mail addresses OTOH should be preserved. They are only forwarding addresses now and they can be kept that way, can't they? Regards, Mathias
