  <p>A simple way to help out is by answering user questions. In doing this you will, indirectly, also help developers. Answering user questions takes time. Every question you answer clearly is a question a developer doesn't have to answer. The time taken to answer that question can be used to write code for OpenOffice.org. Furthermore, helping other users is an excellent way to learn a lot about OpenOffice.org yourself. There are two ways you can help other users:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>
    <p><b style="color:#a00">Users mailing list</b><br />
      The users mailing list is the primary avenue for OpenOffice.org tech support. Information about joining can be found at the <a href="//mail_list.html#general">Mailing lists page</a>.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><b style="color:#a00">Forums</b><br />
      Another popular support option is the <a href="http://user.services.openoffice.org">OpenOffice.org Community Forum</a>.</p>
  </li>
</ul>
