Hi,
....
The reason is simple for me. If I write documentation that can't be
put on the community site, I'm working for OOo the product, but not
for OOo the community. It's a choice and that doesn't minus the work
done.
That's my "reason" to see OOoAuthors as a fork. I couldn't argue with
Daniel on that issue, as I've not been involved in the discussion about
the license change.
The fork is when you settled first your project using the PDL (see
april 2004 mails in doc projects) then change it to CC and when you
try to keep the 'in place' community or the new members wishing to
participate out and drive them systematically to your project
(whatever the topic of the participation and this almost every day).
As said: rading the Chatlog, OOoAuthors does not enforce any particular
license. Nail them on that.
(And yes, I know, there is confusion about that .. but I this has to be
discussed and may be resolved in some cases)
So .. maybe we should focus on resolving thoses issuen?
oh yes :)
And .. no .. don't tell this all could have been done within the
(global) documentation project.
see one of those issues to get my opinion ;)

See that one for my opinion:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8331
(I spent days for the translation only to find out, nobody at the
documentation proejct was interested in publishing it)
I won't tell you that because I'm aware also for a long time of the
issues meeting by the documentation project. Scott and Ger should be
in that discussion BTW.
Absolutely ... *sigh* I'll join the [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists again ;-)
The same will happen with scripting if we don't take care to keep it
inside the project. Why is it important to have it in OOo community ?
because it brings value to the community, it brings people to
participate and it's much more easier for the NLC to have all in one
place, and at the end, it brings credibility to our project.
If you define "OOo community" as "all who strictly work with OOo
website", we will make many people upset.
Anyway .. there is still the problem of the license, that makes it
impossible to contribute editable content from OOoAuthors (2.0 users
guide) to OOo Website.
