Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2835
users_de@lang.openoffice.org

On discuss_de we have around 400 posts per month. Most of these are on topics related with the project, not the software. We would like to support new OpenOffice.org USERS who do not speak english better than we can right now. We could do so with the help of an additional mailing list, which could be called users_de@lang.openoffice.org . We would like to offer the users to either look for answers in the web-archive or subscribe themselves to receive answers as fast as possible. We do have a person willing to moderate this list and a total of three guys, who are experienced useres, willing to answer questions on this list. Can we do it this way? Regards, Timon
timon, do you still want this? if so, we can perhaps configure a de list to address this. otherwise, I'm rather reluctant to authorize it. louis
> timon, do you still want this? Yes, please. > if so, we can perhaps configure a de list to address this. what do you mean by "de list"? Regards, Timon
by "de" list I meant de-discuss. Isn't this the function of de-discuss, to provide information on Ooo for users? I am anxious about creating too many lists that don't seemingly add to the overall list. In short, I don't want to have the German developers not communicating in the official discuss and users list because they already have in the de lists. that is my concern. lousi
Hi Louis, as discussed with Stefan and Jost, I discussed these issues with those, who volunteered to help users via the future users_de list. They agree with me that it is feasible to: 1. translate or summarize important posts/threads for discuss@Oo or the projects' lists. 2. Inform users on our lists about important threads on other lists. The idea is to make sure that ideas/opinions/discoveries/questions/solutions/whatever that pop up on germanophone list are not supposed to be inaccessible for the rest of the community because of the language barrier. So when something importend crosses our way, we lift it across that barrier. AND we aim at interesting developers in participating in the various projects at OOo by informing people on _de lists about interesting things going on on other lists. Regards, Timon
created the list. timon or jost, I need a german description of the list. I will add it to the list as soon as you send it to me. louis
Hi, That was fast :-) here's the description: Benutzer können hier Hilfe bei der Bedienung von OpenOffice.org finden. You can make Manfred Reiter <reiterm@yifan.net> moderator of this list. In case he wants to have these mails sent to another address later, can Jost change this adress? BTW: I can't access http://lang.openoffice.org/servlets/MailingListEdit?list=discuss_de I get: "Your account does not have the necessary permissions to..." Is that supposed to be this way? Regards, Timon
As agreed with Louis, we can close all the resolved fixed issues he owns.
