False. it is not the first. > > ===== > > 2.

It wouldn't hurt - you can put them all in a very tiny text box with their TM notifications in the footer of the back panel, BE SURE to include the TDF trademark for LbreOffice BTW, at least that is how I would do it, and not mess with it in the body text. > > ============ > > 3.

These are the only official application icons, for the TDF version of LibO. You could use the new mime-type icons however. The application icons are changing, but I'm almost certain they are not in any locked down state yet. > > ============= > > I have left a copy on the wiki pages[1]. Feel free to comment. As you > can see there is very little space left to add any more content. Going forward someone I would recommend working with ODFAuthors this way you could put these type of artifacts under a full version document control system. That would be only a recommendation not a requirement IMO - but you guys will need to work that out for yourselves. So for now if you like I can make the suggested edits (with change control turned on in the document) in a copy and send it back to you - if that is ok with you?
