This is a sweet/sour area. On one point, sure we want to endorse OOo-ODF
related products and have a mutual benefit. On the other side, we get into
the same situation on theLinux kernel system when they had a proprietary
application to manage their code.
Thats what generated GIT as a FLOSS alternative. Althought this said, I am
aware OOo already uses a proprietary application using Collabnet.

For something akin to version control but more user-friendly, I suggest
we take a look at Alfresco or O3Spaces. Both are open source enterprise
content management systems that compete directly with Sharepoint, and
both have been good friends to OOo in the past.
Maybe one of the companies would be willing to set up and manage a site
for us, in exchange for the obviously-strong promotional benefits they
could get from the donation.
Alfresco: http://www.alfresco.com/
O3Spaces: http://o3spaces.com/
Does anyone have contacts at one of these companies and would be willing
to ask them about it?

Can you please tell us more about the Education flyer ? As Education
Project co Lead, I'm very interested, to know what such flyer does
contain.
This does bring up a need for having a central repository of such
print-ready material.
Probably, but the first step must be: every subproject proposes
something and then, after agreement, this is put on the central
repository.
Here we read " there is already one .. " and everything made behind
the door. No way to discuss the content nor anything else : it does
not make sense.
Again, this is one of the roles of Education Project to create a flyer
for Education. And if marketing project wants to help, this will be
great to work together.
Sure but this was done before the Education project had any sustainable
ammount of users. Plus this was a marketing goal of promoting OOo in
schools. And you did send an email about it, so you were aware of the
development. I dont have the time to go into rescuing that email but
the flyer was not very good as far as quality is concern.
Could perhaps be handled via a version control as well (if not
already being done). That way, sub-projects can
perhaps have their own materials ready and waiting for a checkout.
+1 : the idea of use a version control is great : it will bring
readability and maintainability.
VC is hard in OOo, people need SSH/Tunneling rights to access the site
CVS, plus there is already people doing flyers with out version control
working great for them.

ps: As regards the Mozilla hand-out, I always like a B+W version as
well. Saves a lot on print run costs :)
+1 for the cost
