I asked on the ODFAuthors list for others' comments. Here is the one response I've had so far.

Here is a first rough collection of requirements/ideas/wishes which may need being discussed/prioritized/concretized a bit ;) * a centralized integrated documentation place for all flavours + forks of the OOo/LibO family * very good searchability (I doubt Google is sufficient?) * sync'ed multilanguage documentation (e.g. like php or mysql docs) * immediate availability of any document in any of the main delivery formats (HTML, PDF, ODT) - best generated "on the fly" or regenerated on any change from a master * support for "filtered views" (showing only the documentation for a given combination of software flavour/fork + Version + Language) * support for a reviewing workflow similar to ODFAuthors or Alfresco * support for translation workflow with fallback to original language (or English or whatever) * support for translations in any direction (not only from en-> other) * arbitrary diff support (not only between two history versions of a page like in the wiki but between any two pages/documents) * nice2have: integration of translation memory with GUI l10n * nice2have: interlinks with application help * end user commentable pages * easy community involvment (with a well thought or configurable rights hierarchy for e.g. typo correctors, editors, reviewers, document publishers etc.) * licence agreement on any edit or on account creation (or both?) * mail notification on page change with author + comment (best with optionally included diff) * votable pages to see what is considered high/low quality * good statistics to see ** what infos are searched most ** what search terms are used ** what is missing most * enhanced credits page (who - what - changed word counts, how many per last month / last year / totaletc.) Regards, Nino
