Hi :) +1 to the idea of this being voted on by the SC/BoD without re-arguing the points.
I had hoped the discussion would just congratulate the Documentation Team on neatly avoiding potential pitfalls that would take months to fix if MS used it as a side-issue in a any future dealings with them. It makes sense to use primarily Windows screen-shots in marketing, for the reasons Italo stated, but Documentation takes a LOT longer to fix. Inevitably there will be specific sections that focus on individual OSes but the bulk of the documentation tries to stay consistent with itself rather than look randomly thrown together. A flippant vote taken in under 5 mins to change documentation to use Windows screen-shots would result in many months of hard-work for the tiny documentation team and would result in no documentation being out-there until that work gets re-done. Right now there are questions about whether to bother continuing to work at the documentation at all until after the SC/BoD has decided to tell the team how to do their work. If the SC/BoD wants official documentation to be done in a way that demands using Windows screen-shots and also relinquishes any responsibility for the completed work so that individuals might be left facing the full wrath of MS as individuals then i think we can forget about any documentation ever getting done! The question is really about whether to support the Documentation Team or to tell them to re-do everything in Windows and then not support them at all! Have they really wasted their time and effort doing a bad job?

Oh, sure, but Michael seemed to feel that this might be better discussed in a private session? Would that be the intention? I can sort-of understand that, given the kind of debate that might ensue? In any case, I'll add it to the next agenda and thank you for your permission for that. -- David Nelson -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
