Hi Michael et al:

Observation:

As I am new to the LibO/OOo community, I have noticed that this 
community is particularly entrenched in communicating through mailists. 
Everyone seems quite comfortable with them and, by and large, decisions 
are still being met in quite comfortable time-lines. they just seem to 
work. All we have to do is to find a way to accommodate those who like a 
more structured approach to communication. I, for once, would rather 
communicate through an nntp account. I find the structure logical and 
easy to use. One complaint that I do have of this, is that my mail is 
sorted by date and this will sometimes cause some threads to move them 
about in a disorganised way.

As for forums, I am also on the Mageia marketing team and we also ran 
into this problem earlier on in when Mageia was formed. A Mageia member 
then decided to put up a forums board with a "Mailing List to Web Forum 
Bidirectional Gateway". This apparently works quite well and the 
connection between all communication modes are practically instant.

mailist<->nntp<->forums

You may want to check into this. The member's name is Tux99 and you can 
reach him at:

tux99-mga@uridium.org

He is quite helpful.

Hope this helps.

Marc
