On the documentation list, I proposed changing the license for NEW

that were revised for LO) to a different license. The proposal has

We're actually talking about *LibreOffice* docs here, which are not
being done (in English) on the ODFAuthors website. Though I guess
there are implications for translations of LO docs that are being done
through ODFAuthors, so that is a good point to consider... one that I

Hi Dennis, Jean, *,
thus I see no need to change the licensing or double-license with ALv2. There
is no
need to do the work outsite the current platform ODFAuthors.org. The
contributors to
the OOo documentation are familar with that CMS and it's workflow.

Reassignment is different than adding a license or providing the material under
an additional/different license.
Reassignment is about copyright. Let's not go there.
Still, offering a license from a multiple-author work does raise issues about
the arrangement among those authors and how such t

had any connection with iCLA that are used in the case of Apache projects.
Note that the Apache determination concerning CC-SA acceptability only covers
distribution without modification. That probably does not matter

Excellent! And thank you. May I suggest you start with Chapter 12,

Which articles are specifically being referenced here? I'd be glad to jump
in on a couple (I just signed up today so if there was a list earlier in

I'm still digging through the Doc Foundation Wiki, but hopefully I'll be
registered and set up soon.
I'd be glad to. I'm an admittedly wary newbie and a project like this
sounds like a great place to start.
Cheers, Emma

Hi :)
I think Alex's objections have been cleared away by Dennis's clarifications
so i suspect that Alex might well be willing to contribute under
dual-licensing. As i understand it the objection was something to do with
individuals having to sign an agreement with Apache but Dennis said that

Dan,
I know you corrected some errors in the Getting Started with Base
chapter, and they are in the file that's on Alfresco. In your opinion,
does that file need further review for LO 3.4? Or shall we move it
