Nii Hao All!
I've switched back from digest mode: i've never had a mailing list in digest mode and i just discovered to hate it :D
Here're some excerpts from the digests:
1. i second the choice of a wiki, it's a great system!
All web activities are on hold, we need to decide on where to host it, whom to maintain & what we'll name the project (the project name needn't be the product name)
2. if you think a forum+ml is too much, we could go with the list and use the forum justo for public announcements or something like weekly status updates.
Agreed.
3. please, PLEASE!, don't call it AmigaOffice or something alike, don't us do the same error of Amizilla: here we have a great brand we can use for free and it's a big selling point: let's use it! (btw, OpenOffice.org is the real name, not OpenOffice :))
Agreed, the value of OpenOffice franchise shouldn't be underestimated, it's starting to get name recognision, so we should ride that wave.
4. SVN vs. CVS: although i'm one of the fans of SVN i believe that if you guys feel more comfortable with CVS and it will let us to start rapidly, then you should use it. In the meanwhile SVN could be a side project (in a SourceForge perspective too...)
I still think we should start on a smaller thing before we tackle OOo, but the most important part of it all is getting organised.
5. the fact that at some point we'll have Python (and APR too), really makes me happy (ok, i admit this point isn't much related to project organization :D)
