May I suggest that only LIST subscribers should be allowed to ask questions. That would reduce all those folks who ask questions and don't receive answers, because they are non-subscribers.
We can have endless discussions on this (as we can have endless discussions on whether Reply-To by default should go to the list or to the sender). The current setup is the standard Apache setup and our tools have limited configuration options, that we already explored in detail together with the Infra team.
There are a lot of intelligent people on this LIST and at Apache. Why is there no on-line forum for AOO?
What? The forum is at https://forum.openoffice.org/ it handles 100+ help requests per day in 10 languages, it is maintained by the project and hosted on an Apache Software Foundation server and it is the first option listed at http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html
I joined because I wanted the interaction of other users and clues to problems and solutions of the AOO software.
This is exactly the spirit of this list. We very much prefer that users subscribe, and you'll hardly find a link to this list on our site that comes without the recommendation to subscribe. Still, it seems many users prefer to send a quick mail rather than using the forum, and this is why we currently allow non-subscribed members to post.
