Ron Faile is a member of the Documentation Team. He did most of the work on the first set of user guides; you'll find his name in Contributors section of the Copyright page.
I don't see a problem with him working primarily through the Marketing team, though perhaps the results of his work should be listed in detail on the Docs/Pubs pages instead of the Docs page having just a link to where the completed ref cards are. --Jean On 22/01/2013, at 23:23, Tom Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi :) > Would it be best to move this project to the Documentation Team in the future > or is it really a marketing issue in the longer-term?
