I think MUCH of what you're proprosing/wanting to discuss MIGHT be 
taking place on the new "developer" list see

http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html

I have NOT subscribed myself but please do so, and/or look at the 
archives for the "developer" list. This is a stark contrast (right now 
anyway) to the many specialized mailing lists on the OO.o site. However, 
those are still operable but we (??) don't know for how long.

Generally,  the points you make here are well taken. Perhaps a new, 
easier to use structure is what is being talked about on the new list. 
Just from a quick review, there is a LOT of discussion going on.

Anyway, I will take your advice and just go ahead and make this change 
and a quick one to the News page as well. I just feel if we want to 
continue as a cohesive open source project, we need to INFORM better. 
Although I know about the proposed handoff by Oracle to the ASF, I did 
not know it had been done. I accidentally tripped over this.

thanks for your response. On your comments, I'm not well-versed enough 
in what is happening RIGHT NOW to comment further.

Please join the new developer mailing list and get involved so we can 
all look forward to our 20th birthday! :)
