Re: [steering-discuss] libreoffice.org e-mail accounts

Hello,

thanks for all your feedback on this. To sum it up, I think this would 
be a good way to go:

* only approved members get an e-mail account
* this will be not a real mailbox with POP, IMAP and SMTP, but rather 
only a forwarder to an existing, external account
* they get nickname@libreoffice.org (with some sanity checks on the 
nickname, of course)
* as a rule, we somewhere should write that these accounts can be 
revoked anytime and that there is no "service guarantee"

For representatives of TDF (SC, BoD, MC, ESC etc.), things are like now: 
They can request their e-mail address @documentfoundation.org, and it 
will be a full mailbox with POP, IMAP and SMTP if required.

Thanks a lot for the kind offer! I don't want to have real mailboxes, as 
this requires more infrastructure, has more liability issues and the 
like, so a simple forwarder should be enough. ;)
