Apology and explanation

[Patricia Shanahan <pa...@acm.org>]

I suggested creation of the recruitment mailing list as a vehicle to 
communicated with new participants in the Openoffice community, with 
less traffic than the dev@openoffice.apache.org mailing list.

I am very sorry for my non-involvement for the last few months, which I 
can now explain.

Soon after it was created, I started spending all my available 
Openoffice time on some security bugs. While we had even minor known 
security bugs for which we did not have fixes I could not discuss the 
matter outside a couple of private mailing lists. I could neither 
involve you in my activities, nor explain why I could not do so.

Those fixes are in the 4.1.4 release.

Rather late, I got smart enough to ask Peter Kovacs to keep an eye on 
this mailing list.

Yes we should definitly do this. Maybe think of further roles and Ideas
people can do.

I recently found out about:
https://helpwanted.apache.org/

Wouldn't this be a good tool to make our tasks visible?

Dennis Hamilton already opened one some time ago, but I never knew that
it existed:
https://helpwanted.apache.org/task.html?d7d4b55f275b2025c2f04d94207b1a00d5e6f624

I'd like to integrate it in our homepage, but I am uncertain where it
would fit best...

Let me add: while we were working on 4.1.4 we still did identify some 
tasks that would be suitable for this list but that are for future 
releases anyway. I expect that those tasks will be posted to the 
recruitment list now that we are ready to restart work on the next release.
