++++++1 A little tuning, for what it is worth:
It is not necessary to subscribe to any of these lists in order to ask for help. They will be moderated in. It might be nice if the mailto: entry specified a subject that would let us know it is from the request link though. That would emphasize that the requester is probably not subscribed and a direct CC: on any response is called for. Also, ooo-users might be a better target than ooo-dev. And, if within-site relative URLs are used for some cross-references, they will work when the cut-over happens as if they were always links to http:// *.openoffice.org URLs. That way it is never necessary to expose ooo-site.apache.org addresses. (Cross references to the podling site are different, of course and they will hopefully all be redirected on graduation.) At some point, it should be fixed so http://ooo-site.apache.org redirects to http://openoffice.org (even though the pages are actually created at you-know-where, that can be made to work without looping [;<). It can also be arranged that http://ooo-site.apache.org/es/ is served up as http://es.openoffice.org, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Kay Schenk [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 15:22 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] easier access for N-L sites during staging process On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 3:14 PM, TJ Frazier <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/3/2011 17:59, Dave Fisher wrote: > >> >> On Nov 3, 2011, at 2:39 PM, Kay Schenk wrote: >> >> I'm thinking of changing the links on: >>> >>> http://ooo-site.apache.org/**projects/native-lang.html<http://ooo-site.apache.org/projects/native-lang.html> >>> >>> to the format we're using at the staging site-- >>> >>> http://ooo-site.apache.org/"**nl-abbreviation"; >>> >>> and putting a link on the staging home page >>> >>> http://ooo-site.apache.org >>> >>> to the revised >>> http://ooo-site.apache.org/**projects/native-lang.html<http://ooo-site.apache.org/projects/native-lang.html> >>> at the bottom of the menu with something called "Native Language >>> Federation" >>> >>> to make it easier for folks to review the N-L sites. >>> >>> Due to the fact that we are now missing the navigating tabs on the >>> staging >>> site, we may want to deal with other areas like this as well for the time >>> being until a more in-depth discussion is had.

I'm not exactly sure what Dave is doing at the moment in terms of preparation to tell you the truth, but I'm fairly certain we've got everything that could be had "svn-ing" what was publicly known . However, the "What do I do if I find a problem?" link/page certainly has merit. About the only thing I could suggest though is an e-mail to this list (and they need to be subscibed first), and suggest an appropriate subject title to them so we could spot these things easily. Would something as simple as that work or what were you thinking? > -- > /tj/ > > -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "This is no social crisis Just another tricky day for you." -- "Tricky Day", the Who
