Description

Hi guys,

That link http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ is not listed in the Get Help menu.

Also, I don't know if this is a bug (or a feature), but when we suffix any URL with ?SubsiteID=3, we are back to the English website. Is that an usual behavior?

Regards,

I am not sure if this intended behaviour - maybe you can post to the
website list, asking if there's a specific reason behind that?

I thought the website mailing list was deprecated in favour of redmine? Am I missing something here?

Btw, this seems like a forgetting from the webmaster. I checked the French translation of the website and the mailing lists link is indeed not defined in the main menu, but this can be accessed from Get Help -> Community Support in the "Mailing lists" item (https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/ or for the translation see https://fr.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/). Seems like in English, we specified links to access native language projects, but forgot to put the aforementioned link to the "Mailing lists" item. This is an easy fix so.

No, that was an experiment for the marketing project - the website lists
exists and is still valid for discussions ;-)

Ok. FYI, I wrote a mail on the mailing list today early in the night. http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/msg13546.html

William , not sure I understand what the problem is. not all the mailing lists are listed on the get help page but many of them are lidted listed by project page like marketing, etc.

What I meant is that you cannot access that page http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ unless you know its exact URL. Indeed, you should have a link to that page from the page "Community Support" page http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/ at the end of the "Mailing Lists" item, like this is the case on all native language websites (take French as an example).

It seems, this time, on the page http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/ , we put a link to http://www.libreoffice.org/community/nlc/ displayed by "See here" but forgot to put the link http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ too.

I don't know if I'm clear. Otherwise I could put links to screenshots. But these are really simple easy bugs to solve that it takes much more time to express what's wrong than actually fixing it.

Btw, it would be nice if I can get an answer to the aforementioned link to my mail which aggregates a bunch of problems I reported again.

Regards,

Actually pretty clear what William is on about-- the dropdown list for the Get Help button does not have a selection for the "get-help" content "mailing-lists" , viewable at URL: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/

Needed action is to add the item onto the Get Help button list.
