How does it work?

If you send an e-mail to the mailing list, it will be sent onto all the subscribers of that mailing list. Of course, you should subscribe to the list yourself, so that you will receive the reactions to your question yourself. You can arrange this using the links in the box below.

For what is the mailinglist?

• The mailinglist "discuss_{xx}@lang.openoffice.org" is intended for discussions about the lang/{xx} project and the subjects in OpenOffice.org that are specifically interesting to {xx}speakers.
• This mailing list can also be used for asking questions, and giving answers, about using the OpenOffice.org software. If you have a good tip, send it to the mailinglist! We could put them together on a tips&tricks page.
• for general (not specific lang/{xx}) subjects I'd like to refer to the (English language) mailing lists such as users@openoffice.apache.org and users@openoffice.apache.org. For this, and other English language discussion lists: click on "Mailing lists" in the box at the left of your browser window.

More tips on the use of the mailing lists

Please subscribe to the mailing list before sending emails to it.

Write separate emails if you have multiple, unrelated questions. Clearly describe the subject of your post in the "Subject" field of your email program.

The mailing list is "retro moderated". That means that everyone subscribed to the mailinglist, directly receives the emails addressed to it, without being filtered by a moderator. Follow the Netiquette for discussion lists.

You can retain overview of the emails from different mailing lists by setting mail filters. This is supported by the mostly used email programs.
