Re: [user documentation] Requirements for a documentation project
Bonsoir Cyril, Hi all, 2012/9/13 FR web forum ooofo...@free.fr Bonjour Guy, cut Become a committer is not my priority. I would only produce something helpful for endusers in my langage (I don't speak English) I send again my proposition to join the french forum. We have a specific forum dedicated to documentation: http://forum.openoffice.org/fr/forum/forum37.html You are welcome to help us. Many thanks for your proposition and your work for the AOO project. But I'm already member of the Educoo project and I will not disperse me in too many different projects. However, as there's a lack of documentation released under ALv2.0, if you decide to produce something with this License, please, let me know so I could see if I could help. I think it's time now to collect people who agree to write and share documents with this license, to avoid having a mix of documents with a cocktail of different licences which are difficult to share properly. Please, consider that I don't criticize the quality of these documents, but only the fact that doing so, we never will have a coherent documentation system. If we had a collection of homogen documents, based on a common template, even in different languages, it could be possible to merge them in a central official documentation in English that could be maintained and translated in the different languages. Such a work, or another alternative that requires merging of documents, is only possible if we use the official ALV2.0 license. Only my opinion. PS : désolé pour le retard de la réponse, mais je suis pas mal occupé en fin de semaine. A+/Regards -- gw

Good, thanks! So, I will work with the Alv2 licence and I have signed the CLA in june. Is it enough or are there more requirements? There aren't any more requirements as far as I know. If you become a regular contributor to Apache, you will be voted as a committer, but this won't give you any special rights besides being able to directly put files in the OpenOffice repository (if desired). Become a committer is not my priority. I would only produce something helpful for endusers in my langage (I don't speak English), but in a way it could eventually serve to people working here on an official documentation project, without these boring issues of licenses, rules, etc. My work will be unofficial, but I can perfectly live with that. My personal opinion is that a real and efficient AOO doc project should be initiated and lead by the strongest community (US/EN) in a clear defined and simple way, with a low technical barrier to rise the number of possible contributors. But I have to admit it's more easy to say that to do. Please, consider I will try to do something beside but not against the AOO project. My question was how to work in this direction : a compatible final product, not obligatory integrated, but in which the community could reuse smoothly any part it could found interesting.. A link to the template I'm intending to use. If something is wrong, please, let me know and I correct it. it. http://www.softenpoche.com/sep/iron.odt Regards -- gw
