Hi David:

I was really responding to Drew and Sophie but sure we should all have a 
say.

I totally agree with you that Nabble should be kept read/write for those 
who wish to participate on the mailist but prefer the "forum-type" front 
of Nabble. We should try to accommodate as many different ways for 
membership participation as long as there are bridges between all modes 
of communication.

Myself, I like the idea of a centralized forum (or something that looks 
like it). Again, I prefer this as it really sets the tone for the 
community feel and breath. When there are a collection of forums feeding 
into the pot, then one gets the feeling like they should belong to one 
of the forums rather than being in the collective pot. IMO, however, if 
they all dress the same, at least we can have a better chance to speak 
at the same level. We can still have identity and wear different ties 
but the uniform still spells LibreOffice.

Thanks for your comments.

Marc
