The easiest way to submit proposals for either of our websites would be to apply for an account on our planning wiki-- https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home Just use the "Sign Up" link. A good place to add information like this would probably be under the Site-Dev-Plan page -- https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Site-Dev-Plan You can include attachments using the wiki as well. There are a lot of areas and opportunities for involvement with this project. Welcome. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Cats do not have to be shown how to have a good time, for they are unfailing ingenious in that respect." -- James Mason
