actually ISA tools are from Larry
further i think you do not need a permission if the doc is floating 
around in the web (we may also look for the doc-license used).

mhm.. i don't know.. i think it is good to have the documentation 
collected somewhere (see also the documentation page on the wiki). I 
would rather use that documentation as a base then only linking it. But 
this holds only for the english documents. Because I think we need to 
reference every non-english documentation.

On our sourceforge account should be sufficient space to store the 
documentation.

yes.. this would be very good..
i think you can make also such tables on the wiki?

Furthermore I should mention 2 things:
* we could also use the new sourceforge internal wiki for documentation 
efforts (I don't know how long Jon will still host our wiki
* the stuff from Uwe's doc is also existing on a german(!) wiki: 
http://de.giswiki.net/wiki/OpenJUMP_Tutorial

mhm.. can you make it a bit more specific.
btw. i would not say "online documentation" but something like 
"paper/print documentation"
