I sent the following yesterday. It didn't get through. A subsequent test
message did get through so I'm trying this one again.

Dennis,
The Users list was designed for technical questions about how to use OOo
to achieve various effects whereas the Discuss list was more to do with
marketing type questions or ideas about possible enhancements or
comparisons between OOo and various other products or news about the use
of OOo in, say a [set of] Government office[s] somewhere. There was also
quite a lot of discussion about various standards (ISO etc.) that OOo and
other products did or didn't meet. I agree there was overlap but it was
quite small and many posters to Users were asked to re-post in Discuss and
vice versa. So I assumed this distinction would be carried forward. I
don't have strong feelings about it either way but, if there is to be a
separate Discuss-type list I'd like to know so that I can subscribe to it.

Hello Harold,
The only public lists at the Apache incubator project right now are
ooo-dev @incubator.apache.org (i.a.o) and this list, ooo-users @i.a.o.
They are both on GMane.
No ooo-discuss list has been created here @i.a.o. It was thought that the
posts overlapped so much that only one list (ooo-user) could serve both
needs.
Please say more on why you think there needs to be a separate ooo-discuss
list?
By the way: ooo-users IS NOT the OOo Users list. OOo Users is still
running in the form you know it to be at http://OpenOffice.org. At the
moment, there is no proposal to preserve the current OOo Users list, nor
any of the others, including OOo Discuss. Are OOo Users and OOo Discuss
not on GMANE already?

Subject: OOo Discuss List?
The other day it was announced that the OOo Users list has been set up in
the Apache incubator project and is available via Gmane.
Is the OOo Discuss list also available via Gmane? Will it be? When,
roughly,
please?
