I am fairly certain about the Calc chapters, it is the mail merge chapter I am less sure on, but I am fairly sure, unless there is another chapter about using a data source in a writer document, but I don't think there is.

I don't think there is, either. Okay, I'll put you down for Mail Merge and the two Calc docs. I have a vague memory of you reviewing all of them, too.


Question, if a some random person makes a suggestion or correction to a document, and we use it, do we have to add them to the authors list?

My opinion: depends on the significance of the contribution. Minor corrections (like typos): no. *Significant* errors of fact: probably yes. Major changes, additions, restructuring: depends on how much the person personally contributes. If someone just says "you really ought to include something about X" but doesn't contribute actual content, then I'd say no -- though in a few cases I've had people make such significant suggestions that I considered them to be a contributor, even if I did all the work. In the end, I think it's up to your personal judgement.


I'll be interested to know others' opinions, esp. Janet's and Daniel's.

Cheers, Jean
