There is no community consensus on when a document it ready for external

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.
Although people seem happy with me acting as "publisher" for the OOo
user guides, it really would be much better if each book had its own
coordinator/editor/publisher, both to spread the work around and so
people could cover for each other if someone is unavailable for more
than a few days (illness, travels, other work or family commitments).
I agree that this would be a big help all the way around. :) My main
point being that a community vote, to me, was not the way to go.
The idea was to have an experienced technical editor (or similar) to act
in the role of coordinator/editor/publisher for each book, but the other
people who filled that role in the early days have moved on to other
things.
If we can find those with the experience needed.
BTW, the OOo *developer* docs are not handled through OOoAuthors; those
docs are primarily wiki-based and the processes for review and approval
are different.
I knew that I had not seen any of the developer docs on the OOoAuthors
site, so that is why.
