One touch up. There is no de.openoffice.org forum.
However, there is this nice page of sources provided there: <http://de.openoffice.org/foren.html>. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Fabian Rodriguez [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 13:06 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [tdf-discuss] user forums ?

If not, we tried it, and we don't lose that much. What I see is a desire to proclaim ownership over such resources - when in fact what would be desirable would be to integrate existing active, useful resources to the current TDF governance structure and encourage new initiatives. My only contact at the time was with the LibreOffice forum admin, here is the message I sent back in January introducing him as a contact to maintain (this email went unanswered) - it should still be possible to contact him directly via the site contact forms: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [tdf-discuss] [Forum]How will the forum be organized? Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 14:03:48 -0500 From: Fabián Rodríguez <[email protected]> Organization: Unorganized. Really. But if you must know -> http://fabianrodriguez.com To: [email protected] [...] I just registered to http://libreofficeforum.org and I am fairly certain it uses Drupal. I took the liberty to contact its creator and he's already indicated he's willing to collaborate: "I would be glad to see LibreOfficeForum.org as the official forum. I personally am not a developer, and I don't have any official role in LibreOffice. For years I have been a heavy user of OpenOffice, spending many hours on it every day. And now I'm sure that the way forward is LibreOffice. I'm not an expert yet, just a heavy user. ;-) I created the site immediately after LibreOffice was announced, because I saw that they had no web forums, and I personally don't like mailing lists. And I know that there are several unofficial forums as well for OpenOffice (like oooforum.org), so I'm sure that this site could also occupy that role if the Document Foundation doesn't approve it officially. It appears likely that LibreOffice will continue to diverge more and more from the code base of OpenOffice, and it would be confusing to see bugs and support requests for two different products in the same forum. So for that reason I would personally recommend that the Document Foundation not continue to use the same user.services.openoffice.org forum for LibreOffice. - Sam" I supposed someone from TDF / steering committee could maintain this contact more formally than me, I hope I am not overstepping anyone when doing this.
