Kay Schenk can report > whether she has captured them all. Things are probably fully captured. Kay, Raphael and I have all checked in projects. The variation in the html for each project is the next thing that I must tackle on branding/migration. The checklist of projects including NL projects is the same. If someone cares to join me in Apache CMS and python and other scripting then see http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/website-local.html I'll be working on variations of view.pm and path.pm to provide the proper wrapping strategy as indicated by the html in each project. There are scripts in ooo-site/trunk/tools - See readme.txt for docs about the scripts.

In a related area there are upwards of 460,000 individuals subscribed as OpenOffice.org users. It is is unclear what we can take - this may fall under tight German privacy laws.
