How large is the LibreOffice community? A mailing list approach
For quite a while, I have been asked about the number of subscriptions in our mailing lists. I’ve now spent some time in the night and hacked a little bash script, to compile recent numbers, and will regularly post these to our moderators mailing list. Today’s statistics, for example, are available in this posting.
For the future, I plan to enhance the script to show some more statistics, like the number of total postings, the number different countries, the number of moderators, and some graphical representation of the data. Stay tuned!
hello. I’m not familiar with irc, and do not wish to be. I simply want to type my docs into libre office. But, I am unable to find a means of turning off all the “auto” stuff, particularly the numbering, bullets, and such. I’m *very* old school about typing (60 yrs old), and do not want anything done automatically. How do I turn all this stuff off??!!
TIA.
Have A Healthy, Prosperous Day!

If you would like to turn everything off you would need to do the following. However LibreOffice and other office suites may not be the right tool for you. JDarkRoom is about as basic as a word processor gets, while still maintaining the ability to manipulate text, which is, after all, what Word Processing is about! While being free, it isn’t Open Source.
Tools > Options > Whichever option you wish to turn off (though not the bullet and numbering by the looks of it)
Tools > Autocorrect > Word Completion – Will allow you to switch off this feature
If the bullet/numbering occurs when you don’t want it to, you can just highlight the text that has been adjusted and select the appropriate tool on the tool bar, it acts like a toggle, so if it is on, you will switch it off.
The best place for this type of question would be the documentation and FAQ’s at http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/ or the OpenOffice.org forums.
Hope this was helpfull
how about using something like feedburner to find out how many people are watching your RSS feeds.

I have unsubscribed to the mailing list since the blog creation. And I’m following rss thread.
How about creating a forum for LibreOffice, instead of using such a archaic thing as mailing-list.
Seconded.
Agreed!
Why don’t you use this script? https://projects.libresoft.es/projects/mlstats/wiki
