Or maybe broaden it to an ooo-distributors list, to include the those distributing CD's, copies of AOO on their own website, as well as mirror operators. It benefits us if we have an easy way to communicate with them on things such as release plans (they should know things are coming well in advance), changes in branding, etc. Although the technologies differ, they all have the common interest in wanting to synch up with us on releases. But not enough to suffer through ooo-dev. -Rob > -Rob > >> Thanks >> >> //drew >> >> >> >> >>
