If you take that approach then I don't think there is any decision that we need to take now, at least not in the Apache project. But when we have an end-user facing web portal hosted by Apache (the future home of http://www.openoffice.org) then we'll want to have a discussion on how we link to your user guide. One other thing. I think the Apache trademark policy is also relevant here: http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ You probably will want to review that and see if you would need any approvals from Apache for the trademarks and/or logos that you use in the user guide. -Rob
