One of my favorite words applies here: "disintermediation". The best thing we can do is to remove extra steps and layers and people between the user and the person who can give the user what they want. General rule that applies for everything from trademark requests, to mailing list, to product questions, to project questions, to interview requests, to almost anything: 1) If it is not too sensitive and the person does not mind making the request in public, then ask them to send the request to the ooo-dev list. Note that it is not necessary for them to subscribe to the list. Anyone is able to post to it. 2) If the question is sensitive, personal, confidential, etc.., then ask them to send it to the ooo-private list. Again, they do not need to subscribe. Anyone can post. There may be more specific ways to report specific issues, but the above two paths almost always work as a good first step. Regards, -Rob > thanks > Louis
