Why are people still sending others to the OpenOffice.org web site for 
information about LibreOffice?

For this posted need, I remember hearing about "deployment" of LO on a 
LO web page.  Although LO was a fork of OOo from several years ago, it 
is "grown" past those roots now.  If we do not have the needed 
documentation now, we should really make it a priority to set up a web 
site/page to talk about IT management deployment of LO, including 
network based.

The current AOO/OOo web site should not be the place where people go to 
get information about LO.  From a marketing aspect, this could lead 
business users to think we are not the package to use, but AOO is.  That 
is wrong way of doing "business".

SO, just from the marketing aspect to businesses, this needs to be 
resolved.  From the typical user, this could be an issue as well.

I stopped using OOo when LO came out.  I do not want to have to explain 
to users that LO's documentation site[s] is not the place to find the 
needed information to migrate/deploy LO to their systems.

Would you tell the UK tech advisors to not consider LO for the open 
source option to using the mandated ODF file format requirements, but to 
go with AOO/OOo since we do not have the needed documentation?  We would 
be saying this if we tell them to go to the OOo web site for the 
deployment information.

I see too many of these postings telling users to go to the OOo site[s] 
for the needed information or extension/template download.  Yes, there 
may be something there that LO currently does not have, but it should 
not be the first option.  LO needs to rely on LO's sites to give the 
user the help and support they need.

I do not use Nabble, but I would think that there must be a forum there 
about business migration and deployment.  IF not, then there should be.

Am I alone in this opinion?
