OOo Users' Community Website

A small group, including my troublesome self, is discussing the formation of "The OpenOffice.org Community' Website" along the lines of The Star Office Users' Portal. The site will serve as a portal but also include a forum and other services. The idea for the project emerged out of a very long thread discussing ways of dealing with some shortcomings of the present, main, English forum for OOo users.

The project will require as much support as it can raise. I am hoping that Matthew may be able to help with site design. (He did open the door to the possibility.) Before all those tiresome 'buntu fan boys mention it, I am aware of The Ubuntu Community as another good model. We do, I think, want our own "look". There is a blog spot which will contain reports (if muggins remembers) from the private discussions taking place.

The most important point. The public discussion is on another OOo support forum.

It's happening

An announcement is expected at the OO Conference commencing on September 19th (this coming Wednesday) at Barcelona. A place-marking page is ... er, in place but the location will have to await the announcement. Initially, the site will have only an (English) forum.
