The current LibreOffice docs-production organisation is only slightly
changed from the way OOoAuthors did things at OpenOffice. (OOoAuthors
rebranded as ODFAuthors in an attempt to include both OOo and LO - and any
other spin-offs, in case they occurred. It later transformed into the
official LO Docs team when AOO wasn’t interested.)

I can tell you a great deal about the origins of OOoAuthors and its
evolution as a producer of OOo docs, but I think our success was partly due
to a very minimal process and a willingness of the small group to forge
ahead with production even when the write-review-edit sequence stalled due
to lack of enough people to do everything as intended.

LO has managed to recruit more people, but otherwise the process is much
the same, just followed a bit more in practice.
