Hi. According to CC 3.0 - there must be information regarding changes being made in general. "if changes were made" However, I did not see any indication of specifics (that might be time consuming but maybe like a changelog for docs) Here is the link to cc 3.0 info:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Under the following terms: Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. No additional restrictions — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits. I did not realize the GNU Linux user base was so low... even then. However, I will continue the effort for the 3% or so - because I'm weird like that. I started the Get Started, I'll see it through. Thank you for the information. In this case, I would say - an effort for the larger user base is important. Someone who is willing to take on the Windows content - making this more current would be a good idea. Are we using gitbox? I won't touch Windows, I don't have windows... but I can mark up and give feedback for that taming or whatever doc using OO and provide feedback/recommendations for documentation. However, do not associate me with any Windows effort - haha :) The feedback is for everyone. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Hamilton" <orc...@msn.com> To: doc@openoffice.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2021 10:29:52 AM Subject: RE: Getting Started Guide (was Proposed Process for Documentation) 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? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: marcia wilbur <ai...@well.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2021 02:28 To: doc@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Getting Started Guide (was Proposed Process for Documentation) [orcmid] [ ... ] One thing to mention - is the taming doc is under CC 3.0.
