We really do need taxonomy. I want to see, for example:
spreadsheets >
- cells
- formulas > list of functions >
- > database
- daverage
- dget
- dsum
- date / time
- information
- mathematical
- > database
- formulas > list of functions >

@foxcole add the following Full Post
- So people are very, very wary and they wish to remain anonymous. I would hope that the new site could respect that and allow guests to participate however they wish, in any part of the site. But here's a question---which I think I already know the answer to---why force users to register in order to participate in the wider range of activities/services/communities in a user-to-user support site? What does it accomplish---site security on the forum/blog/etc. side? Does it reduce spam? block out automated mailers or other undesirables? Why do registrations seem to always require an e-mail address?

- We need to not think like the computer geeks (and you know I mean that in the best possible sense of the word) we are. We need to think like the average user who we are servicing.
- Option 1 would contain tutorials....
- Option 2 would take them to a search form first. .... OOo CSE again
@Hagar de l'Est Full Post
- - Similar as current oooforum
- - Locked forums : the rules and why not a [online] tutorial area (so the thread is not polluted by silly question - that would fall into the related area)
- - Layout by module is the clearer way I guess
- - What would be the aim of the wiki ? make tutorials ?
- - Email interface could be interesting indeed
- - Allow upload is very convenient
- - Direct links to the official OOo documentation (making separate links for the wiki, How-to, user guides, templates, ...)
- For the features, if new ones are possible, a RSS feed would be a nice improvement.

- I love vBulletin's functionality but ....
- ... combo between a good CMS and good forum would do the trick. ....
- ...plitting by modules (Writer, Calc...) is obvious I am not sure if there is not a better way to do it, closer to the user's starting point; somehow task-based....
@noranthon Full Post
- Links to requests for features for OOoForum
- Better search tools. All forums seem to be lacking in this respect. I'm not sold on Google, either. A variety of tools is probably the best answer.
- Quick reply. (SMF and vBulletin have this feature.)
