Re: [odf-adoption] Restricting rights on opendocument.xml.org

Hello Paul,

thank you for the tip. Yes, I think we should go along what you
describe. I'd like to have Jane Harnad's point of view of that.
This way, we would still be allowing "genuine" people to post and not
just blockading the web site, a situation I too was finding unfortunate.

Best,
Charles.
