> That's a list? [email protected] > Cite? Do you have details? Or are you just passing the YAL buck? Yes its a list. Received email. What sort of details? It operates as an email list, similar in operation to how other email lists operate for Openoffice. It is on the new platform so it operates as such. Emails (did you try?) sent to that address will go to a moderator who will pass the email onto the list (and yes that happens since I have tried it myself). You can subscribe to the email list (as with all other email lists) by sending an email to [email protected] with subject: "subscribe discuss" <- without the quotes. As to the whole 'passing the buck' nonsense - I'm not. If I could help you myself I would, but I can't. I don't have the ability to re-generate the welcome email, reset passwords for the OOo site, etc... I can subscribe/un-subscribe and moderate emails on most of the OOo lists - that's it. I believe you've been around long enough to know this is not the first time this has been discussed. What I am suggesting is the best way I know of helping yourself. Highlighting specific migration issues, to the email list about migration issues is a good step. Otherwise you run the risk of having migration issues being lost in the general users/discuss email traffic. You can of course continue along that track, however it may not be the best use of your time (or anyone else reading the users/discuss list). > Maybe you can tell us where the info for the 'new & improved' mailing > list are? > http://support.openoffice.org/ <http://support.openoffice.org/> > Shall we try: > Users Mail List (Subscribe / Archives) > OpenOffice.org Project community support provided by a network of > hundreds of experienced users.

I've already passed along the broken links and I'm sure they will be fixed when possible.

I DO NOT work for Oracle. I'm a volunteer just like many others on this list. I donate my time I do not get paid for assisting with OOo. The information provided has been valid - you may not have liked it, nor may it have resolved your issue straight away, but the information is valid. The link to the mailing list about migration issues is valid. It _is_ the best way I know of getting migration issues highlighted to the right people. Those people may be Oracle employed - perhaps venting your spleen at them may make you feel better, but I suggest that it also may not. > <quote> > Oracle folk are monitoring the lists.

Yes I'm suggesting that you email that list. As stated above I cannot assist you with your request. It is a migration issue, accordingly...well you heard this all before so there is no point in repeating... Personal insults will get you absolutely no where and get nothing fixed [snip] > > While you're at it; it appears that posts (at least mine) are taking 4 > hours to appear: > > Subject: Re: Suspect mail > Date: Mon, 07 Mar 2011 17:46:06 -0800 > > Original-Received: from mailout02.kenai.com ([192.9.171.175]) > by lo.gmane.org with esmtp (Exim 4.69) > (envelope-from <[email protected]>) > id 1Px1YO-0007AI-Hc > for [email protected]; Tue, 08 Mar 2011 19:22:40 +0100 > > Appears to be a list issue... should I also YAL for that as well? > > The delay is probably due to your address not being subscribed to the ' [email protected]' list. Email software, Sympa, sends an email to moderators to pass/fail each unsubscribed email address post. Once approved, email is distributed to subscribers (& gmane). Don't bother ranting on about why you may or may not be subscribed - I can't answer that. I can assist with re-subscribing. You could do that yourself as well, but that would be sending an email to another email address, and based on your previous comments, that may be an issue. If you confirm you want to be subscribed I'll get it done. So in summary... You can follow the advice and get your issue raised and noticed, or continue posting to users list - your choice... One has a higher chance of getting something done. I can't assist with your existing issue, I can assist with re-subscribing (once you've confirmed). /paul -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] with Subject: help
