Description Rob Weir 2013-04-04 22:39:39 UTC
Google is reporting that we have 874 pages on www.openoffice.org that are missing titles.  This is bad HTML.   It also makes these pages look bad in search engine results on Google, Bing, etc., since they don't have any title text to display. 

Some examples:

This is a  good "easy" task for new volunteers interested in helping.  I can provide, on request, the current list of pages that are missing titles.  A volunteer can then download the website source, add titles based on a quick review of the page, and then submit a big patch for the changes.  I'd be able to guide them through this.

I worked on this bug for a while. The bug isn't fixed. Adding my track of pages with missing titles. 

This is old bug and some pages could be modified, maybe Rob can generate new list.
