To: Rob Weir <[email protected]> Rob, Thanks for the comments and encouraging ideas. Before I can answer the more substantial questions in a useful way, I'll need to do some research and dust off my docs-project-scoping skills from my years at IBM Australia. So for now I'll just respond to this one: On 01/09/2011, at 3:21, Rob Weir <[email protected]> wrote: > On the re-licencing question, what is the difficulty?

In some cases we no longer have even the email address they used when participating, and in other cases I have attempted several times to reach people (at thair last known address) but had no response. I believe that at least one contributor is dead. We do have a record of who contributed to each chapter (on the copyright page). --Jean > >
