From: Rob Weir To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 One thing we don't have any more is that registration dialog from OpenOffice.org. Does anyone recall what that used to do? For example, did it sign users up for the announce@openoffice.org mailing list? If so, since that is gone, we've lost the primary way for users to say that they want to get occasional updates from us. This reduces our opportunity to engage with our users. I wonder if it would be worth adding to the home page, a new option: "I want to stay informed about OpenOffice"? That could go to a page where we give information on the announce list, the project blog, etc. It would take the place of the old registration system. -Rob
