Posting on the OOo mailing list(s). Would something from Louis be appropriate?
A link on the OOo support page will happen, I assume.
Maybe this is a sticky point, but I would love to see the questions posted to the general mailing lists from non-subscribers be sent here instead, only because it might help reduce the resulting clutter and noise on the lists and I think it's more likely that people can navigate a web site more easily than a mailing list.
Do we have the 'guest' access in place?
I think it would be appropriate to clear it with Ed (including the message text), but an announcement post on oooforum would be nice.

Re: Getting the word out
That is actually a pretty good idea..and I don;t really think it is all that 'sticky a point'...we could offer anyway.acknak wrote:Posting on the OOo mailing list(s). Would something from Louis be appropriate?

No - we don't at the moment.Do we have the 'guest' access in place?
Could turn on posting for non-registered guests and force the use of the visual captcha today.
This could be limited to a particular forum perhaps, or left for any forum but require a moderator to approve the post before it was actually listed. To go the whole route mentioned earlier, with the warning about not being notified without registration ( or taking an email address right there ) will take some custom coding. A good candidate for the first task for that IMO.
Well...I believe someone that is also a moderator or an admin at that board and a member here might be the one to askI think it would be appropriate to clear it with Ed (including the message text), but an announcement post on oooforum would be nice.

Re: Getting the word out
Uh oh. I think I just volunteered to do something.
I'll write something up today and email it, so we can all have a look before it gets posted.

Re: Getting the word out
Fair enough..and if you didn't know Ed is a member of this board already - I also sent a private message to him, just as this board went live. So he is well aware of everything.
