Thanks a million! However it seems to me to be a little round about way.
Wouldn't it be possible to simply post a link to:
openoffice-uni.org
There visitors can choose if they prefer pdf or odt

(Answering multiple mails in one)
The "ODF Authors" model I was referring to was quite similar: we have the content on the wiki, and then we have links (from the wiki) to the original ODT and PDF sources. This is the best situation since people who come from search engines will go to the wiki pages (high visibility) and from there reach the openoffice-uni site (that will gain much higher visibility due to the links and contents in our Wiki).

me again: perhaps the simplest would be to put the link directly on
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation in the right hand column
under "user guides" - name it "Apacahe OpenOffice Writer for Students" .

Sure. I've just done it at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation (it's the left hand column actually). But this should be in addition to the former, and not a replacement. Good and up-to-date materials deserve good visibility, so let's go for both.

As to license: I'm open to anything which is open. Please tell me how
I should reformulate that part.

Since it is your work, this is very easy: you just replace the license notice in your ODT/PDF file with the text of the Appendix you find at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html (scroll down). This would put the guides under the same license as OpenOffice and make things simpler in general.

Three students at our uni are doing an
Arab version which should be complete by March.

This is really interesting, especially considering that OpenOffice 4 in Arabic is close to being complete (93%) but we have no active team working on it. See https://translate.apache.org/ar/aoo40/ We could definitely work with your students so that they help translate not only the documentation, but the program too. This would be very beneficial to users.

Regards,
  Andrea.
