| <p>For questions relating to the use of OpenOffice (the application) write a mail to: <b>users@openoffice.apache.org</b>. A very popular and effective mailing list. |
| This list is in English only (for other languages visit the "<a href="http://native-lang.openoffice.org">Native-Lang</a>"project lists).</p> |

| <p>Please note that this is not a normal mail address but a mailing list. Please familiarize yourself with the <a href="https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html">Mailing List Guidelines</a> |
| and the text below if you have not already and do not know what this means.</p> |
| |
| <h3>All our lists are public</h3> |
| |
| <p><b>They are not private message centers. Messages posted to them are carried by, among others, <a href="http://www.gmane.org/" target="_blank">Gmane</a> |
| and <a href="http://openoffice.markmail.org">MarkMail</a>. They are public. Therefore, consider carefully what you say: thousands if not millions may read |
| your words and they won't just read them today but also decades from now.</b></p> |
| |
| <p>Anyone can post to our most popular lists, but if you are not already subscribed, your message will be moderated. In this way, we limit the amount of |
| spam entering the message lists.</p> |
| |
| <p>Of the lists to which you might consider subscribing, the most useful are the "dev," "users," and "announce." Both the dev and users lists accept |
| posts; the announce list does not. Its function is to disseminate important information that is of interest to the general community. Individual projects |
| have their own announce and discuss lists, too. As a rule, honor the nature of the list.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>If you want to post a message without it being moderated, please subscribe to the relevant mailing list.</b> To subscribe to any list, all you have to |
| do is click on the "Subscribe" links and send on the empty email message that will be automatically generated and addressed. This message is just to let the |
| friendly computer know of your intentions; you will immediately, upon sending this first note, receive a confirmation notice. Follow the instructions and |
| send it back.</p> |
