What is the concern with hosting the doc at ODFAuthors? Is the load/bandwidth a concern? If so, one alternative would be to upload the doc to Apache-Extra.org. Projects there are hosted by Google Code, and also agree to these guidelines: http://community.apache.org/apache-extras/guidelines.html This is a good option for things that are not part of the project, but somehow related to the project. -Rob > --Jean >
