I don't know what this will mean for us in the OOo and LibO docs
groups, but I am concerned about the potential for further
fragmentation of a small group of docs people into working on several
projects.
We really need to work on better ways to reuse material without time
consuming rebranding -- by automating everything we can and choosing
not to do some non-essential things that can't be automated. I have a
paper mostly written on this topic, which I'll make available when I
get home late next week.
The whole move to Apache is pretty fuzzy to me too. Right now I'm just
trying to read up on the mailing list threads. At this point, all we
can really do is wait to see if Apache votes positive on the proposal
(should be soon), and then we look into the overall impact on the team here.
The fragmentation of the team, with small groups working on small bits
here and there is not efficient at all. This is not something only Jean
or I should dream up a solution to... in other words, I'd like to hear
from the team members on this too. What do you think can be done to
make things more efficient? Do you have ideas on how we as a team can
keep our work focused and reduce the fragmentation?
