Is there a Creative Commons type license that would give the authors 
control over such? And still give you guys free range to keep it up to 
date as you are now doing?  Authors being defined for legal purposes as 
anyone with editing rights.

I see the web page served up versions as the last word on the subject, 
and potentially out of date by the buildbots next build.  This aspect of 
the docs is IMNSHO, a huge advantage over any printed version which is 
likely out of date right now.  New bee's coming in for advice, should be 
reminded of that.

I like dead tree docs, a lot, but I gave up reprinting the whole 700+ 
page manual about every two years because my copy was getting grease 
stained and dog eared, not to mention it was already obsolete by the 
time I had killed another tree.  

At least my monitor doesn't get dog-eared.  Cutting oils and swarf, yes.  
I have a sheet of lexan over TLM's monitor because its dead behind the 
machine.  I have to clean it off 2 or 3x a year.  That lexan is tough 
stuff, I haven't scratched it yet in 6 or 8 years.
