the Community is all of us, the people engaging on the lists,
contributing. We received many requests like "can I have a
@libreoffic.org address like it was at OpenOffice.org", and during one
of the public calls, the steering committee agreed in doing so, help
people identify with the project. The limitation to members -- anyone
active can apply as a member -- is solely because of bad experiences we
had at OpenOffice.org, where people simply could register an
@openoffice.org address and pretend they speak on behalf of the project.
We ran into problems indeed with that.
As has been stated, it would have been MUCH better to have simply made
these addresses be something like user@memers.libreoffice.org, rather
than disturbing the existing community...
This would have also made it clear that these people were simply
*members*, not actual *reps* of TDF or LibreOffice...
