RE: [libreoffice-users] oooforum.org

The Apache OpenOffice project is supporting <http://forum.openoffice.org/>.  The volunteer 
administrators, moderators and other contributors to the AOO Community Forums have tended to also 
contribute to oooforum, but it was not affiliated with OpenOffice.org nor is it now affiliated with 
AOO and the Apache Software Foundation in any manner.  

The oooforum did (does?) provide access to a substantial German-language community forum, along 
with a few other languages not supported on the AOO Community Forums at this time.

It is difficult to preserve a forum, especially if the domain name changes, breaking all of the 
deep links and perhaps internal cross-references as well.  I don't know how the ASF can do much 
concerning oooforum.  That may be a matter of my own ignorance.

Hi :)
Should TDF and Apache both be contributing to keeping it going?  Is anyone here able to explain it 
to the BoD?
Regards from
Tom :)
