Um, why which?

Why being migrated, or why being combined with users?

 1. The [email protected] and [email protected] are noticed to be 
rather much of the same nature these days, so it is proposed that the 
counterpart of both at the Apache OOo Incubator be the single 
[email protected].  (That was the easy one.)

 2. The retirement here is speculated to happen when the hosting is no longer 
on Oracle-supported infrastructure and the openoffice.org domain(s) are hosted 
on infrastructure supplied by the Apache Software Foundation.
    The Apache OOo Podling has not identified resources by which it can support 
so many different lists and support them in the manner that they are supported 
here.  There are some differences in how governance of services works for 
Apache projects that is also a factor.

There is a longer post that provides the best summary I have been able to pull 
together to reflect the situation at the Apache OOo Podling at the moment 
(2011-09-04).  It is the thread on the users list starting with this message: 
<http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive/2011-09/message/65>.

I am interested in any further questions.  I will endeavor to provide follow-up 
information as the picture solidifies and the prospects for OpenOffice.org web 
site preservation/migration become more concrete.
