+ Most people that want to help don't know the software
+Know more than the average

+less pages
Jean: May be we have to translate from other lang to English

Leo: Contributor of the month
+ like in Pootle

Olivier: Page with all photos of the authors
+ Certificate?
+ List of Authors
Leo: Hall of fame
+ Medals, once the doc is published.
+ Combine with marketing
+ spread the word,
+ people behind the books, like devs
+ Narrow gap between book release date and software release date
Leo: On Getting Started (GS) what to be changed?
Someone to flag what to change and add
Jean: who is going to do it?
Olivier: not every new feature will do to GS.
Leo: On next version (6) rethink on what to write
about, rework the text
+ start the new version right after the feature is
implemented
Jean: People want to see the sw before writing about.
