I am not clear what the lazy consensus is about.
Clearly, there is no restriction on anyone contributing to User
Guides for Apache OpenOffice on ODFAUthors, beyond the
terms/conventions/what-ever that apply to contributions there.
So I suppose what is being asked for is consensus that there will
not, at this time, be any separate effort inside of the Apache
OpenOffice project and the project will look to relying on the
ODFAuthors site for emergence of updated User Guides. Contributions
should be made there.
In other words, there won't be any forking of ODFAuthors work into
the project. I assume that means avoidance of duplicate effort as
well.
I'm aligned with that direction.

First of all let me apologize if either my as yet limited understanding
of "The Apache Way" or my sometimes terse writing style added to any
confusion.
My intention was to seek lazy consensus o Scenario 2 rom the wiki page
as the preferred way to go for getting an updated Getting Started Guide
and or other documentation ready for the 3.5 release. The main reason I
did it was because there was Option 1 which was to shelve it. It was in
no way intended to cut off discussion of where we should go where we go
with documentation for AOO version 4 as that is a major release and has
the potential for major changes to the UI that may influence a
re-evaluation of not only the structure of the documentation but also
the presentation of it.
I hope I have cleared up my intentions and again apologies or the
inadvertent ailure to clearly communicate.

Greetings All;
In order to stimulate some discussion on user documentation I have
added the hollowing page to the User Documentation Plan on the
Plannig Wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/User+Guides+Revisted.
It offers 3 scenarios or the creation of the docs. I believe that we can
no longer put this issue aside.
Please take a look at the page and feel free to comment there and
on this list. Also feel free to add to or change any content
there.

Based on the discussion in this thread and on the wiki page it
appears for the short term that Scenario 2 is the best way to go. At
this point I would like to ask for lazy consensus to use ODFAuthors
site and the 3.4 documents already there to create and publish
updated documentation. I will leave this open until 2012-09-26 at
05:45 UTC.
