That is correct. We're combining both lists into the ooo-users list. Although some people explained that the user and discuss list had different goals initially, when they were first created, none of us were able to discern any actually difference today in what topics were being discussed. Both lists ranged from project discussions, support questions, general chat, etc. The OpenOffice.org project had 300+ mailing lists. The Apache project will have far fewer lists, but hopefully higher energy, more active lists. So we hope to have no more than 10 or so lists in the end, mapping each of the legacy lists into a new list. You can see the proposed mapping, for the top 100 OOo lists here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Mailing+lists Regards, -Rob > > -- > Mike Scott > Harlow, Essex, England > -- > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] > For additional commands send email to [email protected] > with Subject: help > -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
