Hello, team! You've probably already heard about this by now: http://www.documentfoundation.org
I was unaware of this planned fork, so the announcement came as a complete surprise to me. I knew that OOo had been talking about setting up a foundation for some years now, but had no idea this would happen. Perhaps I just don't pay enough attention! At this point I have questions, but no answers. For example: where does the effort from OOoAuthors go now and in the future? to OOo or LibreOffice or both? What relation will the OOoAuthors docs have with LibreOffice? What impact will this have on OOo documentation generally? Indeed, what will happen with OOo generally (a bigger question, one that's been around since Oracle bought Sun)? Some of the answers are probably up to us to decide, and some depend on others: what happens with OOo, and whether the LibreOffice team want to reuse or adapt our docs and what relationship they might like with us. I have not yet checked to see what, if any, licensing issues might get in the way. I've got some reading to do on the Document Foundation's website (and some of the OOo lists, including Marketing), and you may wish to do so as well. I know that some of the Document Foundation's committee members and deputies participate on this and the d...@docs list, so perhaps they can offer some thoughts that are less speculation than anything I can say. We live in interesting times! --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@documentation.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@documentation.openoffice.org
