@regina: thx for the precise sef of instructions. I suggest we wait for lazy consensus, and then when a BZ-admin has spare cycles get it done (I am not a BZ-admin and would not like to cause a mail flood). It would be nice out of interest to know how many issues it hit. Then we can repeat every half year or so, like I do on mwiki with old user accounts. rgds jan I. > -Rob > > > see > > https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122035 > > > > I think its important, that issues not being worked on are kept in the > > global pool so it is obvious that anyone can work on it. > > > > rgds > > jan I. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
