My concern was about the process and the long term effect on the community. If I had known that a member of the community that has acted in a leading role was to act in such a unilateral fashion I would not have joined the group and contributed the material that I had written. While I personally would have objected to a proposal to enact what you have done, if the majority of the community thought the proposal a good idea I would have accepted the community view. I suggest that a discussion about printing and proceeds from selling printed copies could be useful. My personal view is that now that there is an official OOo wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page OOoAuthors should move to this wiki and OOoAuthors be reunited with the documentation team. -- Ian Laurenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hillview
