Hi Keith,
If documentation is being moved to Gitbox/GitHub then we should use a new
repository. OpenOffice-Docs or something else?

OpenOffice-Docs sounds good to me. The only question is how we structure
it. I am very new to GitHub so that I could use some help on what would
be the most appropriate method would be.I had envisioned doing it by
software version with a Review and Published branch under each.
I like this approach.

https://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#GPL
I was a bit confused myself when I first read it, but why post it on an
ASF FAQ site if it doesn't grant reciprocity?
Because, if I recall correctly, back at the time the two Foundations worked
together in order to achieve compatibility (which of course can only go one
way: the GPL puts more restrictions, so it's impossible to use GPL code in
Apache releases).
And by the way, the entire GPL discussion is useless since the wiki contents will never
go in a release anyway, as Dave pointed out. So people touting the
"compatibility" are misunderstanding or trolling.
Fact is, unless one has something personal against other open-source licenses, people can perfectly
work on documentation that is not under ALv2 (or that is under ALv2 only for the new sections) on
the wiki. Unlike other Foundations, the ASF is rather liberal, or unopinionated, about other
licenses, provided the deliverables are never part of a release; we never included user guides with
releases, so I think we are fine and I agree with the "narrow" interpretation of the word
"release" as defined in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-552
Regards,
Andrea.
