I think this could be a good thing. We could probably get "critical mass" with such a list. Maybe try a new thread with a proposal for that, and see how many people say they would join it? Maybe forward the invitation the legacy i10n dev and tools lists as well? I think the trick is "smart growth" -- how do we scale the community? So, maybe better to have a single ooo-appdev list for macros and extension authors, i.e.., users that are creating extensions and applications based on AOO. Have that, rather than many languge-specific macro lists. That way we get a critical mass of users, but also of experts to answer questions. We grow a more vibrant community. Yes, it will require more tolerance, especially of language misunderstandings, but the benefits are great as well. Similar, let's make better use of ooo-marketing. We have one project. So it is perfectly fine to have a conversation about a "local" marketing effort on the ooo-marketing list. In fact, one person's local effort might be a good model that others copy and translate and repeat in other locations. So there are benefits to having a concentrate marketing discussion. We need one big fire, not many small fires. -Rob > That will be great. > :) > Thanks, > khirano > -- > [email protected] > OpenOffice.org[TM](incubating)|The Free and Open Productivity Suite > Apache incubator > http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/
