Hi Maren,

I talked with Chris this morning about how to set things up. But we
were mostly trialing, thinking and researching. So not decisions or
anything.

Developer documentation is a very different beast and I'd like to if at
all possible keep that separate. wiki.inkscape.org is the best location
for that at the moment.

One of the ideas we were playing with, was getting contributors to edit
content directly at gitlab.com, then we have a bunch of scripts that
consume the wiki git repository, generate pot/po files, and provide the
raw resource for an optional secondary step.

The second step would be a sort of publishing step. Where we take the
content as a specific time, and produce it into a cleaned up, pretty
book/pdf.

I imagine contributors like CR would be most interested in this step.

But everyone would be involved in the raw materials step (writing words
and getting screenshots into the wiki)

That's not how licenses work (at least not these ones), you can't
remove any prior terms, you can only add terms. Technically you could
take a CC-BY work and wrap it in a CC-BY-SA work, or relicense as All
Rights Reserved. BUT everyone would still be required to attend that
that attribution of the original license. SA means you can't /add
licenses/ to make it more restrictive.

Ugh, not dual licensed then. This is where a CC0 or PD would have been
better. We can't do anything with the content if we want to use CC-BY-
SA since the licenses are incompatible.

We'll have to be careful.
