Two things,

 1. It is useful to know the demographics of Apache OpenOffice users.  The 
latest board report does not break out downloads by platforms and languages any 
longer.   In October 2015 this was the breakdown for AOO 4.1.1 downloads at 
that point in time:

   87.7% were for Windows
    9.1% were for Macintosh
    3.2% were for everything else, including Linux

The prevalent languages have tended to toggle between English and French.

I would be surprised to learn that this pattern has changed in any significant 
way.

The Community Forums activity might also be valuable in this respect, and 
easier to find.

Of course, for documentation, how different platforms are supported is up to 
those willing to develop such documentation.  I have no quarrel, especially for 
Getting Started, with addressing whatever platforms an author wants to 
specialize for to accommodate the readers.

 2. I understand that the contributor of a document under CC-BY specifies how 
attribution is to be made.  I am not aware that there is any requirement to 
specify the changes made.  Normally, one simply provides the attribution and 
source of the document(s) on which the derivative is based.

Marcia, can you point us to where in the CC-BY description that changes must be 
identified?
