I see that the email for this list is discuss(a)openoffice.org. However, I monitor the list through gmane on usenet and the newsgroup name is gmane.comp.openoffice.general. After scanning through the list of available newsgroups containing 'openoffice', the gmane.comp.openoffice.general seems to be the the help/users lists. If this is not it, what one should I be using? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

What new issue? Gmane has always called the users list questions. This is quite clear on the OO.o support page and on gmane as well. I would never go back to using the mail list.
