For an individual looking for interactive support on the Internet, their
preferred means of support depends upon how they discovered the Internet:
* if using *Nix, it is newsgroups;
* if with another
When it comes to online support, What I'm looking for are:
* Registration not needed. News groups pass this test.
* e-mail not used so my mailbox doesn't get clogged up. News groups pass
this test.
* Information well organized by thread/subject. News groups pass this
test.
* Sorting by date,
Dave, Jonathon,
We are drifting here. We are looking for help , not to compare each others
personal preferences.
The fact is, we have people looking for support who won't subscribe to mailing
lists or newsgroups. They are on social networks and therefore we are expanding
there. Volunteers

Err no they don't. If no-one knows the answer, you don't get an
answer. No
Hello everyone,
As you know we provide several options when it comes to users support.
There is:
- the mailing lists (this one is in English but others exist for other
languages)
- the forum that is really the Nabble interface to the mailing list
- the ask.libreoffice.org website
- IRC
Charles,
May I ask what is wrong with a traditional news group? They work very
well, don't clog my e-mail (like this does), and are used by some open
source projects like Mozilla. Seems like a news group would have been
the best choice for support.
As for Twitter, Facebook, etc., forget it -
Hi :)
I think GMane is a way of viewing the posts to this mailing list as though
it was a traditional (fairly trad anyway) News Group. Similar to the idea
of viewing the posts through Nabble to make it look like a forum.
Quite a clever system imo, keeps 2-3 quite divergent different ways of
