All,
As a bit of a last ditch effort I'm going to try to put together a press release, to try and drum up some more help, below is a start:
------ OpenOffice.org Amiga OS4 Port.
Development on the Amiga OS4 port of OpenOffice.org requires some assistance.
We have currently completed some dependancies including libusb, aspell, neon and some work has been done on porting csh.
We need people to produce us a complete dependancy database as well as further the csh port all of this needs doing prior to starting the port of the actual OpenOffice.org code.
To join our discussions/offer help please join the list at:
https://lists.samfundet.no/mailman/listinfo/openoffice-os4 -----
any thoughts of anything else that needs to go in?
Regards
Mark

Ole-Egil,
I too am tempted to close down the project, there has been no activity for several months really (other than some work identifying a JVM to use), attempts to get completed code out of a few people who have said they have completed bits of work seems fruitless, although I do apologise for not following up on the dependancy DB with you.

Tighten up the list security
The only thing we can do at the moment is to 1: make the list invite-only (because anyone can join, send spam, then leave) 2: shut down the list (because there must be a bug in mailman which allowed that email through, and I'm not going to host this list other than through mailman).
I'm leaning towards the latter. As it is, we have almost a hundred people here, and still NO work gets done. This leads me to conclude that this list does not fulfill the needs, that programmers could have a place to get together to discuss OO.org. We obviously did not catch enough active programmers to reach critical mass.
The question is, do we really have a way forward, or are we just grasping at straws?
If there was ANY interest, I would start by finishing off the dependency database I started on, but after a year of no activity I have yet to see a single request for updates... Even though I specifically asked for feedback.
And even if I finish the database, data still needs to be entered. Would we do that? Do we know what needs doing without such a tool?
