Hi Uwe,

I can't tell apart:

oooauthors.org ...
I assume there is some reason for this divided organization, but I
still don't see what that is ...
welcome to the web pages of the OOo documentation project.
You already found the two entry portals. The page
documentation.openoffice.org is the normal project page, like all other
entry pages (projectname).openoffice.org.
Thank you! That led me to the projects list
<http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectList?type=Projects&mode=TopLevel>,
which is a revelation. I had no idea of the administrative organization
of the OpenOffice project, and exposure to that provides unexpected
insight into how to make best use of OO.
The Wiki page exists because the documentation project wants to
simplify collaboration. Every registered user can edit and add pages
on the Wiki. That's really easy on a Wiki, while it needs some more
efforts on a "normal" web page. The contents should be the same if
possible, just the layout looks a bit different.
Yes, that is my experience (and the source of confusion): The contents
of parallel pages appear to be the same, just formatted differently.
So, with one set of pages authored as a wiki, and a parallel set of
"official" pages more traditionally authored,
- How are these two sets of pages kept in sync?
- Does oooauthors.org, which feeds both sets of pages, feed both in
parallel, simultaneously?
- Besides the documentation project, does any other project in the
openoffice.org family use this arrangement of parallel sets of pages?
Thanks again for clarifying,
John
