Why don't you let the people who run the project decide whether or not to accept
contributions before you chase everyone away?

There is no one who "runs the project" except us all, here and now, together.
Everyone is free to contribute in all possible ways he seems fit.

Support proprietary projects is not very high on my list.

You made a lot of good points but in total it felt hostile. It seems like you are saying that if perfection is not possible, then the work is not worth doing.


Like I haven't said so ;) Having good intentions in mind can help not avoiding the topic itself.

It seems most important that the license for the documentation (regardless of where it is initially developed) is suitable for other uses in OpenIndiana and that it can be incorporated in OpenIndiana documentation (or cut/pasted as part of blogs) as maintainers/athors see fit.

You are right.
And since we can't change existing Opensolaris documentation licence that needs to renewed.. we ar kind of married to it unless we want to loose all docs. I don't think starting from scratch is meaningful and neither having then outside openindiana site.

I suggest that Wiki (wiki.openindiana.org) is a nice place to write shorter articles that can be easily reviewed and changed in wiki way and as a plus, they are instantly available on OI's site.
(and after, wiki be incorporated into documentation).

Actually, changes to docs need time and starting to review illumos changes and later OI's changes since Opensolaris, so we can have them all covered and start implementing changed on day to day bases at a moment. Since there are so many docs available, (http://dlc.openindiana.org/docs/) it is wise renewing them.
