libreofficeaustralia.org

Cc:ing to hostmaster at libreofficeaustralia.org in the (vain?) hope it
will reach somebody there...

What's the point with libreofficeaustralia.org ? Is it a copy of
libreoffice.org from some point in history?

Should we try to persuade its maintainers to turn it off and/or
redirect to libreoffice.org, and work on that, our real site, instead?
(We are as friendly towards volunteer web developers as we are towards
volunteer code developers, I hope?)

That site seems to be friendly towards us, so I don't see what its
owner/maintainer would win by insisting on keeping it up and confusing
users. I mean, if it actually was somehow Australia-specific and
contained info about Australian events, user group activites and
whatnot, the situation would be different of course, nothing wrong
with such sites.

I am asking because for some reason apparently my LibreOffice-related
blog posts turn up in searches first as mirrored on that site. (I have
at least twice seen people link to my blog posts through that site.)
And even in weird mock localised trees, like
http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org/lt/community/blog/planet/20110328/porting-libreoffice-x64-windows
("lt" = Lithuanian, huh?). Surely this is pointless and
counter-productive.

So yeah, sigh, including that link in this email which is publicly
archived will increase its apparent significance even more... The real
location of that blog post is
