Thanks for the note Sadiq. Yes, the training and support costs could be 
a problem if LibO does not have the infrastructure to take care of a 
"general use" help desk type of mailist. But so far, the user mailist on 
OOo has been great. Our new LibO user mailist is new and is just started 
to attract attention from users. We just have to market it properly.

BTW, you speak of large boards like the TDSB. Are you Canadian?
