Additionally, this list does not have a home page (that I could find) allowing member options such as "No mail", an option I would have selected because most topics have no relevance for me. I read one post to this list in which a list member describes how he periodically unsubsrcibes when going on vacation, just because there is not a "No Mail" option. I sense that the same problems that plague commercial software prevail in the OpenOffice.org developer community.
What problems specifically are you referring to? A mailing list works by sending you mail. If you no longer want to receive mail, you unsubscribe. How would a "no mail" option make sense for a mailing list? Whether or not a mailing list is a good means for communication is a completely different story. If you are looking for a no mail alternative for discussing issues, try the user forum at http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ Your complaints are substantiated and I second most of them. It is good to see that you don't let yourself get carried away by frustration and just flame the list. The sort of feedback you provide is most important for the project to learn about gaps and improve. It is contributing to the project. *That* is the true value and spirit of open-source software, not cost or technically superiority.
