I don't think we should remove links merely because they have some spam in their forums. Spam is a problem we all need to deal with. The question should not be whether they have spam, but whether they are providing a service for our users. From what I can see, openoffice-forum.de had a recent burst of spam, but they've also had valid and useful discussions related to OpenOffice support. So I would not support removing them. Remember, if we want to make spam a criterion for removing links to a service, then we'd need to remove our own Bugzilla bugtracking instance, for hosting over 1000 spam attachments: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aopenoffice.org+viagra > The first entry for XNIG is malformed, needs update or removal. > > The newsgroups will need up dating also. > > Not sure who is going to handle the DE pages, is there already a hand up > for that? > > Best wishes, > > //drew > > >
