It is nice that the wiki at OOoAuthors works for you. Unfortunately,
this type of collaboration is not available to projects at
openoffice.org for various reasons.
OOoAuthors isn't actually a wiki, but our Content Managaement
System (Plone) is a lot easier for most people to use for
collabotion than the system on the main OOo website (despite
Plone's own annoyances).
The is no reason whatsoever that documentation intended for the
main OOo website cannot be written, edited, reviewed etc on the
OOoAuthors website and then the results put on the Docs site.
The guides currently being written at OOoAuthors are under a
Creative Commons license, but that does not prevent other
documents being written there under other licenses.
So, for example, the various chapters of the User Guide could be
moved to OOoAuthors for working on. We could set up a new folder
for it, under whatever license you want (GPL?).
The would bypass the cumbersome system at OOo and perhaps
encourage more people to participate. Sure, have an issue to
track the various items, but point the issue to OOoAuthors as a
place for doing the work.
Why not? We're all trying to reach the same goal, are we not? So
why not use the easiest available way to do things, whether it's
the wiki (for FAQs) or OOoAuthors or something else.
