I was glad to see the announcement of The Document Foundation. As Co-Lead of OOo Documentation, working mainly with the user guides produced by the OOoAuthors group, I would certainly like to see our user guides made part of the LibreOffice documentation set. Therefore I have some practical questions and comments.
1) The website states "All text and image content on documentfoundation.org or libreoffice.org, unless otherwise specified, is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License." Does the Foundation intend for community user docs to be under the same license? I ask because the user guides are currently under dual GPL3/CC-BY3, not CC-BY-SA3. 2) To make the existing guides part of the LibreOffice docs, they will need some amendment. Previous notes on this list talked about code strings; unfortunately, we have never put appropriate variables into the user guides to enable easy changes of name. In addition, some other information (reference to support,extensions, etc) will need to be changed. Who will be expected to do this work? These are community docs, and the OOoAuthors group is part of the community, so I suppose we should do it. --Jean Hollis Weber -- To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail to [email protected] All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
