ReHi Noop: I was thinking that starting a new thread here would be good some days ago, however I am not sure if that is simply a matter of changing the subject line of a posted message or more than that is needed.
Since "Marketing Oo" can have an enormously diverse range of subsets, I think it would be good to have a way of indicating the contextual interrelations of same in the creation of a tree of threads. However, added to that, I wonder if all this doesn't belong in the [discuss] list? There is evidently somewhat of an existing grey zone between a user needing help to have his/her use/deployment of open office politically accepted in their (work)group, and the larger effort of marketing Oo in General. I suspect you have been around here longer than I, so do you think this whole thing belongs in [users] or [discuss]? If it were migrated to [discuss], the [users] list would need to have some kind of sticky message redirecting users who arrive here to join the [discuss] list and look for the appropriate threads. Added to this, a downloadable colour organization chart that visually depicts the abstract structural interrelations of such sub-threads would be a nice helping tool to get participants to the threads that are relevant to them, not only initially, but if and as their focus of needs changes, it could serve as a roadmap to guide them to the threads of their new focuses. This could also be hyperlinked in several different ways (to a URL, to an email address, to another place in the document, as is typical of Oo.) I only wish I could spend the time to do such a pro bono, but I have more urgent personal needs myself (less fun but essential.) Cheers all, Bruce Martin
