[orcmid] [ ... ] As there are obviously still conflicting views on how documentation should be handled. I have decided to step away from this entirely and concentrate my volunteer efforts elsewhere. Regards Keith [orcmid] I don't think there are conflicting views. There have been considerations of a few approaches and ways of satisfying ASF sensibilities. There are some concerns about ASF sensibilities with regard to carrying "foreign"-licensed materials in ASF repositories. For example, one option would be going the AOOAuthors route and hosting that effort on GitHub. The alternative Keith favors involves hosting within the AOO project in a manner that does not conflict with ASF sensibilities about licenses. As far as I can tell, no one is stopping that being set up and contributors recruited. One caveat. Jean Weber has offered to update her self-published "Getting Started" book on AOO to be suitable for AOO 4.1 users (unless 4.2 is imminent, I suppose). It would seem valuable to rely on that, including assisting her, rather than have duplicate effort inside the AOO project. So maybe there should be a different focus for the AOO effort, starting with OO 3.2 User Guides. - Dennis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: doc-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: doc-h...@openoffice.apache.org
