I'd like to see a little this rumored "fire house" before we take the step of creating a dedicated list for it. My guess is there are few requests that actually require permission and many others that merely require that we point to FAQ. ooo-marketing might be the right list to steer the requests to for now. This would be appropriate because many of the co-marketing opportunities, e.g., a new AOOo-derived product might be linked to on our site, along with other derivatives. Books and other things might also get links. -Rob
