Hi all,
OOo is now can be built with MinGW compiler and I wish build guide for it can be added
to OOo-Wiki.
I have already made a draft by copying existing Windows build guide and edited it with
OOo-writer(web) as I am not accustomed to MediaWiki nor Wiki updating.
I would like to get experts' comment how should I proceed. Is it OK to disclose my
draft calling for comment, from Licensing point of view?
Best Regards,

Per and Bjorn did most of the technical work on consolidating the
Building Guide, but I did some of the wiki-technical things on that, and
on other guides. I will be glad to assist you in this valuable work, if
you like.
About the license: all of the Building Guide is licensed under the
Public Domain License (PDL). If you are willing to license your work the
same way, then there is no license problem. You can disclose anything,
any way and anywhere you wish.
Creating a draft page: If your revision deserves a page of its own,
here's how to do that. Edit any wiki page (from the Guide, or your own
User page), and add a link, enclosed in double brackets, like this:
[[Documentation/Building Guide/Building Windows with MinGW]]
The last part is whatever you want to call your page. Then click *Show
preview*, and you will see a redlink to the new page. Open the link in a
new tab or window, so you can go back and cancel the original edit.
Add your source, and save, if *Show preview* looks good.
Then write to the list, including a link (copy and paste from the
browser address) to the new page. Somebody here (me) will do any
clean-up, stick a big "DRAFT" sign on it, add it to the table of
contents, and so on.
Before I can advise you how to get your source onto the wiki, I'll need
to know exactly what steps you used to copy the source. From an ordinary
Writer page, it's easy: just copy to the clipboard, and paste into the
wiki editor. From Writer/Web, I'm not so sure, but you can try that. If
the *Show preview* looks good, go with it. Otherwise, we can work out
something; I can always write a little Basic clean-up code. I do that a lot.
Let me know how you want to proceed.
