Note/Question: Should I cross-list?

Another question that needs to be asked, should we have a document
checkout for the workflow to ensure that only one person is working on
any given document at once?

The current setup has a "flag" that is set for "retract" to show that someone else is working on the document, though it does not prevent someone else from downloading.

Also how is community consensus reached as to when a document is ready
for external publishing?
A democratic review system for proposed changes on final review
documents should be pretty easy to setup (Voting API). For an example
on this type of system have a look at Ubuntu Brainstorm, slightly
different concept but could work just as well.

Thanks for the info so far.

There is no community consensus on when a document it ready for external publishing. Right now, Jean Weber, the volunteer co-lead makes that call. I see no problem with this setup as Jean has the expertise to make the call, and I have seen no complaints from any other members. I do not feel a vote would be in the best interest of the project.

Have a look at the www.oooauthors.org , on the entry page is a dcoument called Introducing OOoAuthors it details how the project works.
