Jan, I asked for the removal of that page because it was mainly generating spam. Moderators had to deal with 15 examples of this from the wiki admin form in one day. But now you've added the string "Contact: [email protected]" *twice* to the footer of every wiki page, with no mention that there are other more appropriate avenues to go for support. I'm not certain now that you understand or appreciate what the issue is. Putting *any* prominent note to contact [email protected] is a very bad idea and will merely lead to misdirected support requests, causing a bad experience for users as well as volunteers. So a -1 from me to your additions to the page footer. Please remove it. And please review any further changes of this nature here on the dev list before making it. Remember, the number of people who have admin-related questions about the wiki are very, very, very few in number. They will be best served by directing them to some variation of a page like the one we have on the main website: http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html Thanks! -Rob > rgds. > Jan I. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
