I've been going through the archives of the existing us...@openoffice.org and disc...@openoffice.org. I cannot tell them apart. They cover the kinds of questions and topics. Maybe at some point in the past the project had distinct visions for each list. But this differences are blurred beyond detection now, at least to me.
Originally discuss@ooo was intended to be the mailing list for the community to discuss about the community, hence both focusing on a different topic and addressing a different audience. Over the years discuss@ooo indeed became something like users2@ooo.

Since we've recently set up the ooo-users@i.a.o, I think it makes sense to ask users from both users@ooo and discuss@ooo to move to ooo-users. In doing so we avoid unnecessarily fragmenting community discussions.
That would make sense, at least for those who are used to discuss support topics at discuss@ooo. The few others should be happy with ooo-dev.
