Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: connecting to oooforum.org

Hi :)
If it is a completely independant forum and one that is owned by the community could we just copy 
it and host on TDF or LO servers?  Alternatively might they be in a better position to ask Apache 
to host it or donate a better server to them?  or could TDF donate a better server to them?  There 
are neutral 3rd parties such as "Friends of OpenDocument", ODFAuthors, OASIS.  


I can't believe they and everyone else considers the pages hold are so worthless that they still 
haven't been able to gather support.  


Do they use "Creative Commons" or other copy-left licenses or would they be annoyed if we just 
copied the whole lot onto somewhere safer?  

Regards from 

Tom :)
