I have forwarded your note to the ODFAuthors list. On several occasions I have invited them to join this list; I have no idea how many may have done so. If we start getting discussion about your points, it might be more efficient for you to answer questions on the ODFAuthors list. odfauthors-discuss-subscr...@lists.odfauthors.org > > Long term, the ideal from my perspective is for ODFAuthors to become > part of the AOOo project, have their own ooo-doc/ooo-docs/ooo-infodev > mailing list, agree to move to ALv2 for future contributions, and > produce docs that because of that license choice can be used freely, > by AOOo, by LibreOffice, Symphony, even freely translated for > RedOffice, etc. Such an arrangement also makes it easier for others > to contribute as well, for the reasons I mentioned above. ODFAuthors is just a group of people with a website and a domain name, both of which happen to be owned by TDF. It is available to whoever wants to use it for producing documentation for OOo/LO/related products such as NeoOffice, RedOffice, etc. At present a subset of LO language groups are using it (English user guides are on a different server and CMS), as are several OOo language groups including English. Individual members of the ODFAuthors group can join the AOOo project, of course. --Jean
